Fair Telehealth Billing Act of 2024
The Fair Telehealth Billing Act of 2024 prohibits health care providers and facilities from charging separate facility fees when they bill independently for telehealth professional services. This directly affects patients and insurance plans by preventing duplicate billing for the same telehealth visit. The law adds a new section (901) to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, requiring providers to stop imposing these fees, with enforcement through $10,000 civil penalties per violation for noncompliance. The rule takes effect for telehealth services provided on or after January 1, 2026.
