This bill updates South Dakota's definition of telehealth to clarify what technologies and delivery methods count as telehealth services—including video visits, audio with recorded information sharing, and remote monitoring of patients. The changes expand the types of electronic health services that health care providers can use while explicitly excluding basic phone calls, emails, and faxes from the definition of telehealth.
