New Jersey S914 revises telemedicine and telehealth coverage requirements, ensuring equal reimbursement rates and accessible communication features.

The bill ensures that reimbursement for these services equals the rate for in-person services. It prohibits restrictions on the location or technological platforms used for telemedicine and telehealth, provided they meet the standard of care and comply with federal health privacy rules.
