Modifies provisions relating to telehealth services

HB 822 updates Missouri's telehealth regulations by replacing outdated language with new definitions and rules. It authorizes licensed Missouri healthcare providers to deliver telehealth services within their scope of practice, using the same standard of care as in-person visits, while requiring providers to be fully licensed in Missouri (with limited exceptions for emergencies, informal consultations, or episodic care). The bill clarifies that providers may use any electronic platform for telehealth, as long as they comply with HIPAA, and specifies that originating sites aren't required to have on-site clinical staff during telehealth sessions unless medically necessary. This directly affects healthcare providers and patients receiving telehealth services in Missouri.
