SB 96 updates South Dakota's definition of telehealth to clarify what technologies qualify as telehealth services, including interactive video, audio with recorded data, and remote patient monitoring, while specifically excluding basic phone calls, emails, and text messages. The bill also expands the definition of "health care facility" to formally include laboratories and clarifies that telehealth doesn't include services delivered under separate pharmacy regulations or through simple electronic communication methods.
