Revises requirements for health insurers to cover telemedicine and telehealth; requires telemedicine and telehealth systems to include accessible communication features for individuals with disabilities.

This bill (S 914) requires health insurers and New Jersey's Medicaid programs to cover telemedicine and telehealth services on the same terms as in-person care. It mandates equal reimbursement rates for providers, prohibits higher copays or deductibles for telehealth visits, and bans restrictions on where providers can deliver care remotely. The bill also requires telehealth systems to include accessible communication features for people with disabilities. These changes apply to all health benefits plans and Medicaid programs in New Jersey, ensuring consistent access to virtual care.
