The Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) held a stakeholder meeting on new rules requiring health plans to reimburse for audio-only telemedicine services on July 12.
Stakeholders voiced concerns over language in ESHB 1196 particularly relating to what they felt could be restrictions on where services could be provided, and who could be reimbursed for providing them.
Don Downing, a University of Washington pharmacy professor and representative of the Washington State Pharmacy Association, said language in the bill made it confusing as to where the patient would be allowed to access telemedicine from.
