* § 4306-g. Telehealth delivery of services. (a) A corporation shall\nnot exclude from coverage a service that is otherwise covered under a\ncontract that provides comprehensive coverage for hospital, medical or\nsurgical care because the service is delivered via telehealth, as that\nterm is defined in subsection (b) of this section; provided, however,\nthat a corporation may exclude from coverage a service by a health care\nprovider where the provider is not otherwise covered under the contract.\nA corporation may subject the coverage of a service delivered via\ntelehealth to co-payments, coinsurance or deductibles provided that they\nare at least as favorable to the insured as those established for the\nsame service when not delivered via telehealth. A corporation may\nsubject the coverage of a service delivered via telehealth to reasonable\nutilization management and quality assurance requirements that are\nconsistent with those established for the same service when not\ndelivered via telehealth.\n (b) For purposes of this section, "telehealth" means the use of\nelectronic information and communication technologies by a health care\nprovider to deliver health care services to an insured individual while\nsuch individual is located at a site that is different from the site\nwhere the health care provider is located.\n * NB Effective January 1, 2016\n
