- As used in this section, “remote patient monitoring services” means using digital technologies to collect medical and other forms of health data from a patient and then electronically transmitting that information securely to healthcare providers in a different location for interpretation and recommendation.
- A health insurance entity may consider any remote patient monitoring service a covered medical service if the same service is covered by medicare. The appropriate parties may negotiate the rate for these services in the manner in which is deemed appropriate by the parties.
- Reimbursement of expenses for covered remote patient monitoring services must be established through negotiations conducted by the health insurance entity with the healthcare services provider, healthcare system, or practice group in the same manner as the health insurance entity establishes reimbursement of expenses for covered healthcare services that are delivered by in-person means.
- Remote patient monitoring services are subject to utilization review under the Health Care Service Utilization Review Act, compiled in chapter 6, part 7 of this title.
- This section does not apply to a health incentive program operated by a health insurance entity that utilized an electronic device for physiological monitoring.
