On Tuesday March 15th, President Biden signed the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 ("CAA"). Included
in the CAA is a provision that temporarily allows high deductible
health plans ("HDHPs") to provide telemedicine services
without a deductible from April 1, 2022 through December 31,
2022. This provision was originally enacted as part of the
CARES Act, but expired on December 31, 2021.
HDHPs that want to provide telemedicine services without a
deductible (or with a lower deductible) should be amended to
address such coverage. Plan participants should also be
informed of the changes.
If you have questions about telehealth coverage or HDHPs, please
let us know.
