Specifically, it requires insurers to use evaluation and management codes that are equivalent to those used for face-to-face contact when determining coverage and reimbursement for telehealth services, and it clarifies that "telemedicine" involves the use of electronic media to connect patients with healthcare professionals in different locations, requiring a secure interactive audio or video system or store-and-forward messaging for examination.
