Illinois HB4968 expands Medicaid coverage to include intensive outpatient behavioral health services delivered via telehealth.
Illinois HB4968 amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to authorize the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to cover intensive outpatient behavioral health services delivered via telehealth. These services must meet the same standards of care as in-person services, comply with state and federal privacy laws, and be provided by a licensed provider. The bill ensures that telehealth services are subject to the same coverage requirements, utilization management, and reimbursement methodologies as in-person services. Implementation of the provisions is subject to federal approval.
