A new law is now in effect, marking a significant expansion of telemedicine services across Pennsylvania. The new legislation requires health insurers to cover telemedicine services at the same level as in-person visits. The law aims to improve access to health care for residents, especially in rural areas facing health care shortages. It also sets new standards for telehealth under Medicaid and CHIP, ensuring that low-income families and children receive necessary services. The Pennsylvania Insurance Department will oversee the implementation of these changes.
