Telemedicine and Insurance: How Virtual Visits Are Covered
Whether a virtual visit is covered turns on four separate variables, and a claim fails if any one of them is wrong — including where you are physically sitting, which determines licensure rather than your doctor's location. This guide covers those four questions, the difference between coverage parity and payment parity that decides whether your copay is actually lower, and three changes that took effect for 2026: pre-deductible telehealth became permanently compatible with HSA contributions, Bronze and Catastrophic Marketplace plans now count as high-deductible plans, and direct primary care arrangements no longer disqualify you.

This guide covers what remains fully enforceable, how to request the comparative analysis a plan must produce for any limitation it applies to mental health benefits, why state regulators are now the more active enforcers, and what to do when the network directory turns out to be full of providers who are not actually available.

Open Enrollment Guide: How to Review Your Plan for 2027
Open enrollment for 2027 coverage begins 1 November 2026, but the closing date is being reported inconsistently following finalised rule changes — which makes 15 December the deadline that actually matters.
