West Virginia SB56 allows Medicaid reimbursement for remote ultrasound procedures and fetal nonstress tests.

West Virginia SB56 amends the Medicaid program to allow reimbursement for remote ultrasound procedures and fetal nonstress tests when conducted via digital technology. These procedures must meet the same standard of care as in-person services. Reimbursement is contingent on the use of technology that securely transmits patient data to a healthcare provider for interpretation, compliance with HIPAA, FDA approval, and specific CPT code usage. The Department of Human Services will issue guidance to implement these provisions.
