Revises emergency care services referral standards for providers of telemedicine and telehealth.
This bill (S 2090) updates rules for telemedicine and telehealth providers regarding emergency care referrals. It requires telehealth providers to make a "good faith effort" to coordinate with emergency services during remote visits, including sharing the patient's location and contact details with emergency responders. Providers must also refer patients to in-person care when needed, document emergencies, and report suicide attempts during telehealth sessions per privacy laws. These changes apply directly to telemedicine providers and patients receiving remote health services in New Jersey.
