AN ACT relating to telehealth coverage.

Summary

The bill amends Kentucky insurance law so that health benefit plans must cover telehealth services at the same rate as comparable in‑person services, unless a lower rate is contractually agreed. It bars plans from adding extra prior‑authorization, technology, or network restrictions for telehealth and sets licensing and reimbursement requirements for providers, rural clinics, and federally‑qualified health centers. The measure also lets state colleges purchase liability insurance for governing boards and exempts their retirement benefits from state taxes.
