Introduced by Athenia Joyner (D-Tampa), the bill includes a provision to prevent insurers from mandating in-person appointments if the same service can be rendered remotely, according to the report.

The bill also proposes similar modifications to the state’s Medicaid reimbursement structure, according to the report.
