The Missouri Senate has approved legislation that requires insurance companies to cover medical services provided electronically if they cover the same service provided in person, according to a KRCG 13 report.
Under the legislation, people receiving treatment through telemedicine will not have to pay higher co-pays or deductibles than if they received treatment from their physician in person.
The bill has now been sent to the Missouri House, according to the report.
