What it does

The Telehealth Expansion Act of 2025 would permanently extend a tax exemption that allows high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) to cover telehealth services without requiring the deductible to be met first. The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to remove language that previously limited this safe harbor to certain months or plan years, making it apply indefinitely. This change affects individuals enrolled in HDHPs who use telehealth services, ensuring they can access virtual care without first satisfying their plan’s deductible, effective for plan years beginning after December 31, 2024.
