Bill > S03526

This bill requires services provided by telehealth to be reimbursed at the same rate as an in-office visit. It amends the Public Health Law and the Insurance Law to mandate that telehealth services, as defined in the law, be reimbursed at the same rate as an in-person visit, regardless of the provider category or originating site. This aims to ensure equitable reimbursement for telehealth services and remove potential financial barriers to accessing care through telehealth. The bill takes effect immediately, with certain sections tied to the reversion of related provisions in previous legislation.
