Telehealth Expansion Act of 2025
This bill makes permanent a provision requiring health insurance plans to cover telehealth services without applying deductibles, which was previously temporary. It directly affects health insurance plans and their members who use telehealth services, ensuring no out-of-pocket cost for these visits under the plan. The key mechanism removes specific language in tax code provisions that limited this coverage to certain time periods, applying the rule permanently to all plan years starting in 2025. The bill does not create new telehealth services or infrastructure but changes how existing telehealth visits are covered by insurance.
