The purpose of this legislation, known as the Fair Telehealth Billing Act of 2026, is to prevent healthcare providers and facilities from charging additional facility fees for telehealth services. This aims to make telehealth more affordable and accessible for patients by ensuring that they are not hit with unexpected extra charges when receiving care remotely. Key provisions of the law include a clear prohibition on healthcare providers and facilities billing separate facility fees when telehealth services are provided by a professional who is authorized to bill for their services.
