Texas Telehealth Law for Health Benefit Plan Issuers: An Assessment of Payer Compliance to a New Law on Publication of Payer Policies
November 30, 2018
CCHP has released a report based on research completed between June-August 2018 which examines compliance with one specific provision in Texas enacted legislation SB 1107 (2017), which requires health benefit plan issuers (referred to as “issuers”) to adopt and display in a conspicuous manner the issuer’s policies and payment practices for telemedicine medical services and telehealth services on their websites, effective Jan. 2018. This is the first law in the country to place such a requirement on issuers.
