The Senate passed a bill that would expand the use of telemedicine to all medical personnel during Monday’s floor session.
House Bill 2024 would expand the use of telemedicine by allowing medical personnel to participate in telemedicine visits, and eliminate the ability of medical professional boards to restrict telemedicine.
The bill would establish a procedure for registration with the appropriate licensing boards that would permit healthcare providers licensed in other states to practice telemedicine in West Virginia.
The bill also recognizes audio-only telemedicine.
The Senate amended the title of the bill. It now heads back to the House of Delegates for final approval.
The Senate is adjourned until Tuesday, March 23, at 11 a.m.
