HB 4580 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Human services: medical services; reimbursement rate for telehealth visits; require to be the same as reimbursements for office visits. Amends sec. 105h of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.105h).

This bill requires that Michigan's Medicaid and Healthy Michigan programs reimburse telehealth visits at the same rate as in-person office visits. It directly affects healthcare providers and patients who use remote medical services by ensuring financial parity between virtual and physical appointments. The legislation does not alter existing rules about where telehealth can be conducted or who must verify patient eligibility, but it specifically mandates equal payment rates for these services.
