WHA members can register here for a free 45-minute webinar on Thursday, Feb. 20 at 10 a.m. that will review Wisconsin’s new telehealth law, 2019 Wisconsin Act 56.

The telehealth act webinar will highlight coverage changes in Wisconsin’s Medicaid statute regarding telehealth services, including when these changes take effect and special provisions regarding the delivery of behavioral health services via telehealth. The webinar will also discuss next steps regarding implementation of the statute, including discussions between the Department of Health Services and the WHA Telehealth Work Group.
