110.983 Covid 19 Emergency and Expanded Telemedicine Regulations
The Medical Society of the State of New York will continue to advocate for a continuation of coverage for the full-spectrum of technologies that were made available during the Covid-19 pandemic and that physicians be reimbursed by all government and private payers for time and complexity. MSSNY will advocate that the current emergency regulations for improved access to and payment for telemedicine services be made permanent with respect to payment parity and use of commonly accessible devices for connecting physicians and patients, without reference to the originating site, while ensuring qualifications of duly licensed physicians to provide such services in a secure environment.
MSSNY will propose that all New York insurance carriers provide coverage for New Yorkers’ telemedicine visits with any physician licensed and registered to practice in New York State.
MSSNY will forward a resolution to the AMA HOD at its next meeting in order to address these issues on a national level. (Amended and Adopted, Council 6/4/2020; HOD 2020-168 & Late F)
