An Act relative to telehealth parity for nutrition counseling

This bill establishes telehealth parity for nutrition counseling in Massachusetts, requiring insurance plans to pay the same rate for virtual nutrition services as they do for in-person visits. The legislation applies to various insurance types, including behavioral health plans, health insurance, and hospital service corporations, ensuring that licensed dietitians and nutritionists receive equal reimbursement for remote sessions delivered via video or phone. By mandating equal payment rates, the law aims to make remote nutrition counseling more accessible and financially viable for providers without altering the scope of services covered.
