Telehealth Follow Up
AB 1733 is a follow up to my bill from last year, AB 415: The Telehealth Advancement Act of 2011. AB 415 removed barriers in current law and updated to current practice the use of telehealth in the delivery of health care, and it has been estimated that it will save $1.3 billion taxpayer dollars. This follow up bill will further the intent of AB 415 by extending its application to all managed health care plan contracts with the Department of Health Care Services, including the PACE program and the SCAN Health Plan.
