Permanent Telehealth Exemption for High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs).

This law permanently changes the rules for High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) often linked to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). The change allows these plans to cover telehealth and remote care services before the deductible is met, without losing their HDHP status. This ensures citizens can access remote medical consultations immediately and affordably while maintaining their tax benefits associated with HSAs.
Key points
Telehealth services can now be permanently covered by HDHPs without requiring the patient to meet the high deductible first.
Individuals with HDHP/HSA plans retain their tax advantages even if their plan offers $0 deductible coverage for remote care.
