An Act relative to telehealth parity for nutrition counseling

This bill requires insurance companies and healthcare organizations to pay the same rate for virtual (video or phone) medical nutrition therapy as in-person sessions. It directly affects licensed dietitians/nutritionists who provide counseling for disease prevention, management, or treatment, and the insurers or health plans covering these services. The key provision mandates equal reimbursement rates for telehealth and in-person nutrition counseling under specific insurance coverage rules. This policy change aims to ensure consistent access to nutrition care without financial barriers for patients using telehealth options.
