The Department of
Health and Human Services will require General Fund appropriations of $2,869
in fiscal year 2017-18 and $5,739 in fiscal year 2018-19 for additional
telehealth per-visit site facility fees and per-month telemonitoring fees.
Federal Expenditures Fund allocations will also be required for the FMAP
match.
There is no expected increase in costs for procedures within MaineCare for
telehealth services. MaineCare rules, under MaineCare Benefits Manuals Ch. I
Section 4 Telehealth, state "The same procedure codes and rates apply to
the underlying Covered Service as if those Services were delivered face to
face." |
