Requires reimbursement rate for health care services provided using telehealth and telemedicine equal reimbursement rate for services provided in person.
This bill revises the telemedicine and telehealth law, P.L.2017, c.117 (C.45:1-1 et al.), to require health benefits plans, Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare, and the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) and School Employees’ Health Benefits Program (SEHBP) to provide reimbursement for services provided using telemedicine and telehealth at a rate that is equal to the reimbursement rate for the same services when they are provided in person.
