Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to require the Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA), the Bureau for Medical Services (BMS) and various insurance companies to provide coverage for non-stress fetal tests, including an ultrasound. This coverage also includes tests performed remotely in a residence. There shall also be reimbursement by PEIA, BMS and the health insurer for the covered service.
The Department anticipates no fiscal impact as a result of this legislation. The Bureau for Medical Services provides this coverage, with the exception of telehealth. The inclusion of telehealth does not result in a fiscal impact.
