Revises requirements for health insurers to cover telemedicine and telehealth; requires telemedicine and telehealth systems to include accessible communication features for individuals with disabilities.

The legislation mandates health insurers, Medicaid, NJ FamilyCare, and state health benefit programs to provide coverage and equal reimbursement rates for telemedicine and telehealth services comparable to in-person consultations. It eliminates location-based restrictions for healthcare providers offering telehealth services, allowing out-of-state providers licensed in New Jersey to practice. The healthcare providers using telemedicine are required to use platforms that maintain the same standard of care as in-person services and comply with federal health privacy regulations. Furthermore, telemedicine and telehealth systems must incorporate accessible communication features to accommodate individuals with disabilities and sensory impairments.
