Prohibits facility fees for telehealth services unless the provider cannot bill a separate professional fee.

This bill amends the public health law to prohibit facility fees for telehealth services unless the service is provided by a health care provider not authorized to bill a professional fee separately. It also mandates that patients must be notified in writing at least seven days in advance if a facility fee will be applicable. The notice must explain the fee amount, its purpose, and whether the patient's insurance will cover it. For uninsured patients, the notice must include information on how to apply for financial assistance.
