Bill > HB72

This bill extends the duties and timeline of the Commission to Study Telehealth Services, which was originally established to examine various aspects of telehealth. The bill amends the commission's responsibilities to include additional areas of study, such as synchronizing telehealth policies with federal guidelines and recommending potential legislation. The commission is now required to submit an interim report by December 1, 2022, a final report by December 1, 2024, and a new supplemental report by June 30, 2026. The bill adds new requirements for the commission to review telehealth parity across commercial payers, Medicaid services, and managed care plans, as well as examine patient and provider access, telehealth utilization, quality of care, and the impact on healthcare delivery costs. The commission will be repealed on June 30, 2026, effectively extending its lifespan and expanding its scope of investigation to provide a more comprehensive understanding of telehealth services in New Hampshire.
