Telehealth Expansion Act of 2025
3/20/2025, 9:23 AM
Summary of Bill HR 1650
Bill 119 HR 1650, also known as the Telehealth Services Exemption Extension Act, aims to make a permanent change to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Specifically, this bill seeks to extend the exemption for telehealth services from certain high deductible health plan rules.
Currently, high deductible health plans have restrictions on coverage for telehealth services, which can be a barrier for individuals seeking remote medical care. This bill would eliminate these restrictions, allowing individuals with high deductible health plans to access telehealth services without facing additional costs or limitations.
By making this exemption permanent, the Telehealth Services Exemption Extension Act aims to promote greater access to telehealth services, particularly for individuals who may have limited access to in-person medical care. This change could have significant implications for improving healthcare access and outcomes for individuals across the country. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1650 represents a bipartisan effort to support the expansion of telehealth services and ensure that individuals with high deductible health plans have access to the care they need.
