What’s in it
AI summary Health insurance companies must pay doctors and hospitals the same amount for telehealth visits as they do for in-person appointments. This rule ensures that people receiving care through video or phone calls are treated the same as those seen in an office.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires a health carrier to reimburse a health care professional or facility for health care services provided to a covered person by telehealth on or after January 1, 2021, on the same basis and at the same rate as the health carrier would apply to the same health care services provided to the covered person by the health care professional or facility in person.
