Assembly Bill 212 establishes a framework for the registration of out-of-state health care providers to deliver telehealth services in Wisconsin. Under this bill, health care providers who hold valid credentials from other states can provide telehealth services after registering with the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) or the relevant credentialing board. The bill outlines specific criteria for registration, including the requirement that the provider's out-of-state credential be active and unencumbered, that they have not faced disciplinary action in the past five years, and that they designate an agent for service of process in Wisconsin. Additionally, registered providers must maintain malpractice liability insurance that covers services provided to patients in the state.

The bill also mandates that registered telehealth providers notify DSPS of any restrictions or disciplinary actions against their credentials within five business days. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in disciplinary action from DSPS or the credentialing board, which could include suspension or revocation of the provider's registration. Furthermore, DSPS is required to maintain a public list of registered telehealth providers, detailing their qualifications, disciplinary history, and malpractice insurance information. This legislation aims to enhance access to health care services in Wisconsin while ensuring that out-of-state providers meet specific standards for practice.
