WiAHC has decided to support legislation that would allow a health care provider who is credentialed in another state to provide medical care to patients in Wisconsin via telehealth by registering with the state Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS).  In the state Senate, this has been introduced as Senate Bill 214.  The Assembly companion bill has not yet been introduced. 

In order to qualify, an out-of-state health care provider would need to meet several criteria, including having a clean disciplinary record in the state in which the provider is credentialed and holding malpractice liability insurance, if appropriate.  Also, under the bill, the DSPS would publish a list of out-of-state health care providers who are registered to provide telehealth services in the state.
