Easier Access to Telehealth and Primary Care Services
This act extends the ability to use telehealth services without counting towards high deductible health plan deductibles until 2027. It also allows high deductible health plans to cover certain primary care services without a deductible, potentially reducing out-of-pocket costs for citizens. A study will be conducted to assess the impact of these changes on the healthcare system.
