SUMMARY OF LEGISLATIVE STANDING COMMITTEE COMMENTS
April 27, 2023
Department of Health Services
DHS 10, 38, 73, 92, 101, 105, 106, 107, 108, and 109, relating to Medical Assistance program telehealth services.
Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis or Summary:
The proposed rule changes have the potential to impact Medical Assistance providers that are small businesses. These providers have the opportunity to provide covered services via telehealth, which expands the pool of potential members and services provided beyond that potentially available for traditional in-person services but must ensure that the technology used meets applicable federal and state standards. These providers may also experience increased competition from non-local providers providing similar covered services, including out-of-state providers who meet certification criteria.
