This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256B.76, by adding a new subdivision that focuses on long-term ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring services. It defines these services as the provision of external cardiac patch monitoring devices for patients to wear for 48 hours or more, along with the interpretation of the data collected to identify potential heart arrhythmias.

Starting January 1, 2026, or upon federal approval, the bill mandates that the commissioner reimburse diagnostic testing facilities for these services at a rate of 100 percent of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule or higher. The new provisions are set to take effect the day after the bill is enacted.
