Jan. 28, 2021 – New Hampshire lawmakers are debating a bill that would overhaul the state’s tele-health rules to eliminate payment parity and coverage for audio-only services.
HB 602, recently introduced by state representatives. Jess Edwards, Jason Osborne and John Hunt are trying to reverse certain provisions of a tele-health bill signed into law by Governor Chris Sununu in July 2020, when the country was in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. New Hampshire was one of the first states to adopt permanent emergency measures enacted months earlier to improve coverage for and access to telecare services.
