Human services: medical services; medical assistance coverage for ultrasound procedures and fetal nonstress tests performed in certain locations; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding secs. 109q & 109r.

This bill expands Michigan's medical assistance program to cover ultrasound procedures and fetal nonstress tests performed remotely at a patient's home or other off-site location. To make these telemedicine services financially viable, the legislation requires state rules to allow reimbursement for these tests when they use approved digital technology and meet specific safety standards. The law mandates that remote ultrasounds and fetal monitoring must utilize FDA-cleared devices and secure data transmission methods to ensure the same standard of care as in-person visits. Additionally, the state department of health services is tasked with creating and publishing guidelines to implement these new coverage and reimbursement requirements.
