Medicaid telemedicine services are health services delivered via telecommunication systems. A Medicaid patient at an originating site uses audio and video equipment to communicate with a health professional at a distant site. Before the COVID-19 public health emergency, Medicaid programs were seeing a significant increase in payments for telemedicine services and expect this trend to continue. This audit, conducted before the COVID-19 public health emergency, is one in a series of audits to determine whether selected States complied with Federal and State requirements when claiming Federal reimbursement for telemedicine services.Our objective was to determine whether Illinois made payments for Medicaid telemedicine services in accordance with Federal and State requirements.
