An Act amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284), known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921, in casualty insurance, providing for coverage for interprofessional consultation.
This Pennsylvania bill requires health insurance policies to cover a specific type of remote medical service known as interprofessional consultation, where a specialist provides advice to a patient's primary doctor without seeing the patient in person. To qualify for this coverage, the consultation must be conducted using technology that meets federal privacy standards and must adhere to established medical care standards. The law applies to various standard health plans but excludes limited policies such as dental-only, vision-only, or accident insurance, and it allows insurers to apply standard deductibles and copayments to these services.
