Plain-English Summary

Healthcare providers and facilities would be banned from charging separate facility fees when delivering telehealth services to patients, meaning people using virtual doctor visits would only pay for the actual medical consultation rather than additional facility charges. The change would apply to health plans covered under federal retirement and employee benefits law, potentially saving patients money on remote healthcare visits. Workers and retirees with employer-sponsored health insurance would be the primary beneficiaries of this restriction on extra fees.
