Teleparity

The WSMA supports legislation to require insurers/payers to reimburse telemedicine services (including audio and video) provided to patients, who have a prior established relationship with a particular practice, comparable to that of in-person visits. The reimbursement should be appropriate for the level of care provided. (Res C-15, A-23)
