This subsection does not prohibit the authorization of the provision of any service to a patient through telemedicine medical services at the patient's request. (d) Subject to Section , Occupations Code, the commission may adopt rules as necessary to implement this section. In the rules adopted under this section, the commission shall: (1) refer to the site where the patient is physically located as the patient site; and (2) refer to the site where the physician providing the telemedicine medical service is physically located as the distant site. (e) The commission may not reimburse a health care facility for telemedicine medical services provided to a Medicaid recipient unless the facility complies with the minimum standards adopted under Section (f) Not later than December 1 of each even-numbered year, the commission shall report to the speaker of the house of representatives and the lieutenant governor on the effects of telemedicine medical services on the Medicaid program in the state, including the number of physicians and health professionals using telemedicine medical services, the geographic and demographic disposition of the physicians and health professionals, the number of patients receiving telemedicine medical services, the types of services being provided, and the cost of utilization of telemedicine medical services to the program.
