Revises reimbursement payments for providers using telemedicine and telehealth.

This bill (S 3855) requires health insurance carriers and state health benefit programs in New Jersey to reimburse providers for telemedicine and telehealth services at the same rate as in-person services, rather than at a rate that merely "does not exceed" the in-person rate. It applies to private insurance plans, Medicaid, NJ FamilyCare, the State Health Benefits Commission, and the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission. The bill ensures patients won't pay more for telehealth visits than in-person visits and prohibits restrictions on where or how telehealth services can be provided, as long as care standards are maintained. It also mandates coverage for routine remote patient monitoring through telehealth, such as monitoring vital signs. The bill does not require patients to use telehealth instead of in-person care.
