Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a bill expanding telehealth services in the state on Friday — prompting Children’s Hospital Colorado to say it plans to put the new law to use immediately. House Bill 1029, sponsored by Reps. Perry Buck, R-Windsor, and Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins, requires insurers to reimburse health-care providers for telehealth services in counties of all sizes. State law had required reimbursement only for counties with 150,000 residents or fewer, but health systems said that technology-enabled visitations can aid urban residents as well with everything from oncology consultations to chronic-disease management.

Dr. Fred Thomas, director of telemedicine at Children’s Hospital, said he expects to expand the Aurora facility’s use of the tool significantly, starting with its youth-diabetes program.
