Alaska SB83 amends state law to ensure health care insurers reimburse providers for telehealth services at the same rate as for in-person services. The bill also mandates that the Department of Administration make available bid specifications for desired insurance benefits to qualified insurance carriers, hospital or medical service corporations, and third-party administrators.
