Florida private-payer telehealth law does not require payment parity

Per CCHP's Florida page, Florida law requires telehealth contracts to set mutually acceptable payment rates but permits distinctions between telehealth and in-person reimbursement if the provider initials such provisions. There is no requirement that telehealth be paid at the same rate as in-person care. This affects privately insured patients and providers, who lack a statutory guarantee of equal telehealth payment.
