Louisiana caps originating-site telehealth physician reimbursement at no less than 75% of the in-person amount

Louisiana requires that the originating-site physician be reimbursed at not less than 75% of the reasonable and customary in-person amount, meaning payers may reimburse below the full in-person rate for these services. While Louisiana mandates payment parity for some services such as physical and occupational therapy, the 75% floor for originating-site physician services falls short of full parity. This payment gap can reduce reimbursement for telehealth-facilitated visits.
