AI Summary
This bill amends section 105h of the Michigan Social Welfare Act to expand coverage of telemedicine services under the state's Medicaid program and Healthy Michigan plan. The key provisions include: 1) allowing telemedicine services to be provided at the recipient's home or school, in addition to other approved originating sites; 2) requiring coverage of a wide range of medical, dental, behavioral, and substance abuse services via telemedicine; 3) prohibiting the Medicaid program from imposing certain restrictions on telemedicine services compared to in-person care; and 4) defining "distant provider" and "distant site" to allow for flexibility in where the healthcare professional is located during the telemedicine visit. The bill aims to improve access to healthcare services through the expanded use of telemedicine.
