HEALTH SERVICES: Creates the Louisiana Remote Patient Monitoring Program Law (EN INCREASE GF EX See Note)
HB 896 is a procedural amendment bill that modifies the Louisiana Remote Patient Monitoring Program Law by removing a specific time restriction and correcting line numbers and punctuation within the text. These changes adjust the eligibility criteria for the program by deleting a clause that previously required patients to have been diagnosed within the last eighteen months. The bill also renumbers a list item and deletes an entire line to streamline the statutory language. Directly affecting the administration of the remote patient monitoring program, the legislation aims to refine the rules governing patient participation without altering the program's core purpose.
