HB 340 would amend the Medical Assistance Act and the Public Employees’ Benefit and Insurance Program Act to provide coverage for certain telehealth services.

The bill would prohibit a practitioner treating a patient through telehealth services from issuing a prescription through electronic prescribing for a drug or treatment to cause an abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, or if the life of the pregnant patient would be endangered without an abortion.
