House Bill 3345 amends the Insurance Code to require a health benefit plan to provide coverage for a telemedicine or telehealth service on the same basis and to the same extent that the plan provides coverage for the service in an in-person setting. The bill prohibits a health benefit plan from limiting, denying, or reducing coverage for a covered telemedicine or telehealth service based on the health professional's choice of platform for delivering the service and from imposing an annual or lifetime maximum on coverage for telemedicine or telehealth services other than a maximum that applies to all items, services, and procedures covered under the plan.
