The state Department of Social Services says South Dakota Medicaid is expanding coverage of telemedicine services to more closely align with Medicare coverage of telemedicine services.
South Dakota Medicaid will add additional CPT codes for subsequent nursing facility care (CPT 99307-99310) and behavioral health services (CPT 90832–90838).

- Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC)
- Indian Health Service (IHS) Clinics
- Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC)
