New Jersey A3039 permits telemedicine services to use audio-only technology when providing behavioral health care services.

The bill also defines terms such as "behavioral health care services," "asynchronous store-and-forward," "telehealth," and "telemedicine." It outlines rules for health care providers engaging in telemedicine or telehealth, including maintaining records and complying with regulations.
