Expanded Use of Telemedicine

 

Effective April 1, 2021, Senate Bill 283 (S.B. 283) continues the state's response to the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency by extending the expanded use of telemedicine, among other items. Of note, physicians are now able to issue a prescription for a controlled substance without conducting an in-person examination. In addition, a physician under quarantine may practice telemedicine, as can out-of-state physicians without having a Kansas license (meeting certain requirements).

This new law is not directed at employers, but it does provide additional support for the use of telemedicine by plan participants.
