This resolve
directs the Department of Health and Human Services to allow reimbursement
for ultrasound procedures and fetal nonstress tests performed remotely in a
residence or other off‑site location through telehealth under the
MaineCare program. These services are already covered by telehealth under the
MaineCare program and any additional costs to the Department of Health and
Human Services to adopt the changes in this bill are expected to be minor and
can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. |
