Requires the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to adopt rules permitting reimbursement under the fee-for-service and managed care medical assistance programs for remote ultrasound procedures and remote fetal nonstress tests, utilizing established Current Procedural Terminology codes, as published by the American Medical Association, for these procedures when the patient is in a residence or other off-site location from the patient's provider and the same standard of care is met as would be present during an in-person visit. Provides that remote ultrasounds and remote fetal nonstress tests are only eligible for reimbursement when the provider uses digital technology that meets certain criteria. Provides which fetal nonstress test requires a place of service modifier for at-home monitoring in order to qualify for reimbursement.
