Bill > S1154

This bill defines "telemedicine" as the use of interactive audio, video, or other electronic media for medical diagnosis, consultation, or treatment, explicitly excluding audio-only phone calls, faxes, and emails, and aims to ensure that coverage for telemedicine services is consistent with in-person consultations, meaning that any deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance for telemedicine cannot exceed those for in-person visits, while also allowing insurers and MassHealth (the state's Medicaid program) to limit coverage to providers within their approved telemedicine networks.
