A plan may skip the deductible for telehealth
What the document says“A plan shall not fail to be treated as a high deductible health plan by reason of failing to have a deductible for telehealth and other remote care services.”
The section rewrites subparagraph (E) of section 223(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 so that a plan does not stop counting as a high deductible health plan just because it has no deductible for telehealth and other remote care, and strikes the time limited words in clause (ii) of section 223(c)(1)(B).
What the document actually says“A plan shall not fail to be treated as a high deductible health plan by reason of failing to have a deductible for telehealth and other remote care services.”
A plan still counts as a high deductible plan. That holds even with no deductible for remote care.
Remote care covers telehealth visits. The old wording had an end date. That is now gone.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
