SENATE BILL NO. 91 "An Act relating to telehealth; relating to multidisciplinary care teams; and relating to the practice of medicine." 1:42:18 PM Senator Wilson MOVED to ADOPT the committee substitute for SB 91, Work Draft 33-LS0193\S (A. Radford, 2/27/24). Co-Chair Olson OBJECTED for discussion. 1:42:53 PM KEN ALPER, STAFF, SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE discussed the Explanation of Changes (copy on file): Change 1: Clarifies that the Telehealth option is available if the services provided by the multidisciplinary care team are not reasonably available in the state. Change 2: Reorganizes the changes made in the prior draft by adding a new subsection (3) to AS 08.02.130(b), regarding ongoing treatment and follow- up care provided by an out of state physician and that physician's multidisciplinary care team. Change 3: Clarifies that all members of the multidisciplinary care team must be licensed in another state. Change 4: Adds "advanced nurse practitioner" to the list of providers that are eligible to be part of a multidisciplinary care team. Change 5: Removes the section that required all members of a team to register with the department. The existing statute requiring the employer to register with the state, which was added in earlier Telehealth legislation, will apply to multidisciplinary care team members. Senator Wilson felt that Mr. Alper's comments about "earlier telehealth legislation" should be corrected to say, "earlier telehealth committee." Mr. Alper replied that the change was in a previous committee, but was referring to telehealth legislation that was passed a few years prior. Co-Chair Olson REMOVED his OBJECTION. There being no further objection, it was so ordered. 1:46:02 PM SENATOR MATT CLAMAN, SPONSOR, agreed with the changes in the committee substitute. Co-Chair Olson requested closing comments. 1:46:53 PM CLAIRE LUBKE, STAFF, SENATOR MATT CLAMAN, stated that she had no additional comments. Co-Chair Olson asked whether Ms. Lubke was in support of the changes. Ms. Lubke replied in the affirmative. Senator Wilson MOVED to REPORT SB 91 from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note. There being no objection, it was so ordered. CSSB 91(FIN) REPORTED OUT of committee with two "do pass" recommendations, two "no recommendations" and one new fiscal note from the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development. 1:47:45 PM AT EASE 1:50:33 PM RECONVENED
