About HB-2823

The purpose of this bill is to establish a statewide call-in center for all state residents to utilize as an access point to get advice for medical conditions. The call-in center will allow an initial review of a health condition and may if authorized by the Commissioner of the Bureau of Public Health, allow reference by the nurse for assistance from a physician. The commissioner will establish protocols and contract with a vendor to administer the on-call center.
