Revises emergency care services referral standards for providers of telemedicine and telehealth.

This bill revises emergency care referral standards for telemedicine and telehealth providers in New Jersey. It requires health care providers using telemedicine or telehealth to develop written emergency protocols that include making a good faith effort to facilitate contact with local emergency services and remain connected during real-time encounters until emergency services arrive. The protocols must include methods for providing patient location information, contact details, and relevant medical information to emergency responders when a patient experiences a health care emergency during a telemedicine encounter. Providers must also follow State mandatory reporting laws for suicide attempts and provide patients with 9-8-8 suicide prevention hotline information when appropriate. These requirements apply directly to all health care providers offering telemedicine or telehealth services in New Jersey.
