Utah has no general private-payer telehealth payment parity

Utah's private-payer law requires reimbursement at a negotiated commercially reasonable rate but does not mandate payment parity with in-person services for general telemedicine; only telepsychiatric provider-to-provider consultations must be paid at the equivalent rate. This affects Utah clinicians whose general telehealth services can be reimbursed below in-person rates, reducing the financial sustainability of virtual primary and specialty care.
