SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Medical assistance services; certain reform initiatives. Requires the Board of Medical Assistance Services to implement and authorizes contracting for the delivery of effective disease management for individuals with chronic mental or physical disorders. Further, the Board shall implement, insofar as feasible, an online electronic and appropriately encrypted system, including electronic funds transfer technology and electronic benefits cards, e-prescribing, prospective electronic real-time utilization review of services and claims, point-of-sale and point-of-contact submission of claims and payments when possible and online recipient eligibility review and eligibility verification. Health care providers will be encouraged to implement the use of electronic health records. Enactment clauses authorize the Director of the Department of Medical Assistance Services to design fail-safe mechanisms to ensure that no recipient is denied necessary medical or healthcare services because of technology deficiencies during the implementation of the online system and require the Boards of Pharmacy and Medical Assistance Services to collaborate in developing an e-prescription system, properly encrypted and protected after considering various issues relating to electronic signatures, interception of e-mailed prescriptions, issuance of more than one prescription on a document, any required form for e-prescriptions, staff transmission of e-mails for prescribers, application, if any, of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, Chapter 42.1 (§ 59.1-479 et seq.) of Title 59.1, and any other issues the Boards may deem relevant .
