Texas Health And Safety Code § 62.1571 Telemedicine Medical Services

Sec. 62.1571. TELEMEDICINE MEDICAL SERVICES. (a) In providing covered benefits to a child, a health plan provider must permit benefits to be provided through telemedicine medical services in accordance with policies developed by the commission.

(b) The policies must provide for:

(1) the availability of covered benefits appropriately provided through telemedicine medical services that are comparable to the same types of covered benefits provided without the use of telemedicine medical services; and

(2) the availability of covered benefits for different services performed by multiple health care providers during a single session of telemedicine medical services, if the executive commissioner determines that delivery of the covered benefits in that manner is cost-effective in comparison to the costs that would be involved in obtaining the services from providers without the use of telemedicine medical services, including the costs of transportation and lodging and other direct costs.
