AN ACT to amend the public health law and the insurance law, in relation to requiring services provided by telehealth be reimbursed at the same rate as an in-office visit

AI Summary

This bill requires services provided by telehealth (remote healthcare services) to be reimbursed at the same rate as an in-office visit. Specifically, it amends the public health law and the insurance law to mandate that telehealth services, including any additional provider categories and originating sites, be reimbursed at the same rate as an in-person visit. This ensures parity in reimbursement between telehealth and in-person services, which can help improve access to remote healthcare options for patients.
