Provides for Medicaid policies and procedures concerning telehealth services. New law provides that, for its purposes, “telehealth” shall have the following meaning ascribed in the La. Telehealth Access Act (R.S. 40:1223.1 et seq. of existing law): “Telehealth”means a mode of delivering healthcare services that utilizes information and communication technologies to enable the diagnosis, consultation, treatment, education, care management, and self-management of patients at a distance from healthcare providers. Telehealth allows services to be accessed when providers are in a distant site and patients are in the originating site. Telehealth facilitates patient self-management and caregiver support for patients and includes synchronous interactions and asynchronous store and forward transfers. New law requires the La. Department of Health (LDH) to periodically review policies regarding Medicaid reimbursement for telehealth services to identify variations between permissible Medicaid reimbursement and reimbursement available to healthcare providers under the Medicare program.
