A State described in subsection
(a)may not receive the percentage increase in Federal financial participation described in such subsection with respect to a calendar quarter unless the State provides for telehealth services under the State plan approved under such title XIX (or a waiver of such plan) during such quarter in the same manner and to the same extent that telehealth services are covered under section 1834(m) of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1395m(m) ), including pursuant to any waiver under section 1135 of such Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1320b–5 ).
