12/30/2024, 1:23 PM
Summary of Bill HR 10288
Bill 118 hr 10288, also known as the "Telehealth Facility Fee Prohibition Act," aims to amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to prevent health care providers and facilities from charging certain fees for telehealth services.
The bill specifically targets facility fees that are often imposed by health care providers and facilities when patients receive telehealth services. These fees can add significant costs to patients seeking care through telehealth, which is becoming increasingly popular and necessary, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If passed, this legislation would prohibit health care providers and facilities from charging facility fees for telehealth services, making it more affordable and accessible for patients to receive care remotely. This would help ensure that individuals have access to necessary medical services without facing additional financial burdens. Overall, the Telehealth Facility Fee Prohibition Act seeks to promote the use of telehealth services by removing financial barriers and ensuring that patients can receive care conveniently and affordably.
