An Act relative to telehealth parity for nutrition counseling

This bill requires insurance companies in Massachusetts to pay the same rate for nutrition counseling delivered via telehealth as they do for in-person visits. It specifically applies to licensed dietitians and nutritionists providing services such as medical nutrition therapy through video calls or phone calls. By mandating this payment parity, the legislation ensures that patients have equal financial access to remote nutrition care compared to traditional face-to-face appointments. The law updates existing state regulations to include nutrition counseling alongside behavioral health services under these parity rules.
