Bill Summary
Relative to telehealth parity for nutrition counseling. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends various sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to require that the rate of payment for in-network providers of nutrition counseling delivered via telehealth (interactive audio-video technology and audio-only telephone) be no less than the rate of payment for the same service delivered in-person. The bill defines "nutrition counseling" as care and services, including medical nutrition therapy, provided by licensed dietitians/nutritionists. This change in parity for telehealth nutrition counseling is intended to ensure that patients have access to these services through remote means.
