A 6334 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Expands the healthcare services provided by telehealth

This bill requires health insurers and government programs to reimburse telehealth services at the same rate and under the same conditions as in-person care, directly affecting telehealth providers and patients accessing remote healthcare. It specifically ensures mental health services delivered via telehealth (under mental hygiene law) are reimbursed at full in-person rates unless a commissioner deems them inappropriate. The bill excludes reimbursement for facility fees or clinic costs not incurred during telehealth visits, as these typically apply to in-person settings. It also notes that new telehealth service types or audio-only calls require federal funding approval. The changes expire 60 days after enactment, aligning with the original law's expiration.
