Virginia has no explicit private-payer telehealth payment parity

Virginia law requires telehealth coverage parity for eligibility but, per CCHP, includes no explicit payment parity, so insurers are not required to reimburse telehealth at the in-person rate and may deny technical fees or costs. This affects Virginia clinicians whose telehealth reimbursement can fall below in-person levels, weakening the business case for sustained virtual care, with practices serving rural and underserved Virginians most exposed.
