A 8168 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Provides Medicaid coverage for remote ultrasound scans and remote fetal non-stress tests

This bill expands Medicaid coverage to include remote ultrasound scans and remote fetal non-stress tests for pregnant individuals. The change allows these specific medical services to be performed by qualified practitioners using technology that does not require the patient to be physically present at a clinic. The legislation includes a condition that these services will only become active if the federal government agrees to share the associated costs. Additionally, the law clarifies that this expansion does not alter existing rules regarding medical licensing or the scope of practice for healthcare providers.
