Bill > HB1284

This bill amends the Department of Medical Assistance Services' state plan for medical assistance to include provisions for payment of medical assistance for provider-to-provider consultations, ensuring these consultations are no more restrictive than those available through the fee-for-service program and can be provided through telemedicine services. This means that doctors and other healthcare professionals can consult with each other remotely, which is a key component of modern healthcare delivery, especially for patients in rural or underserved areas. The bill also clarifies that these consultations, when provided via telemedicine, are subject to the same definitions and requirements as other telemedicine services outlined in state law.
