On June 23, 2016, the District of Columbia issued a Notice of Emergency and Proposed Rulemaking
regarding reimbursement by D.C. Medicaid for telemedicine services.
Effective immediately, the rule states that D.C. Medicaid will
reimburse providers for eligible health care services rendered via
telemedicine at the same rate as in-person consultations. The rule
also establishes eligibility criteria for telemedicine recipients
and conditions of participation for telemedicine providers under
D.C. Medicaid. The emergency rules will remain in effect until
October 21, 2016, unless superseded by a Notice of Final
Rulemaking.
