Michigan SB0039 expands Medicaid coverage to include remote ultrasound procedures and fetal nonstress tests performed in off-site locations.
Michigan SB0039 amends the Medicaid program to cover ultrasound procedures and fetal nonstress tests performed remotely through telemedicine. This coverage applies when the patient is in a residence or other off-site location, provided the same standard of care is met. The bill mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to update its rules for fee-for-service and managed care plans to allow reimbursement for these remote procedures using established CPT codes. It also requires the adoption of guidelines to implement these changes.
