Vermont’s governor recently signed S 30 into law. The legislation, which goes into effect on September 1, 2025, requires that health insurance plans provide coverage for healthcare and dental services delivered through telemedicine to the same extent as if the services were provided through in-person consultations. Health insurance plans must also provide the same reimbursement rate for services billed using equivalent procedure codes and modifiers, subject to the terms of the health insurance plan and provider contract, regardless of whether the service was provided in person or through telemedicine.
