To establish that telemedicine services are covered under Michigan’s Medicaid and related social welfare medical benefit programs, but only if provided at or through a distant site allowed in a government Medicaid provider manual. The bill would require Medicaid managers to include a comprehensive set of the programs' services and benefits as covered telemedicine services including medical, dental, behavioral, and substance use disorder services. The bill would authorize as many types of healthcare distant providers as allowable by law to render telemedicine services, and prescribe various other requirements.
