What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Telehealth Expansion Act of 2025'', aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary purpose is to permanently extend the exemption for telehealth services from certain high deductible health plan rules. It modifies Section 223(c) of the code to ensure these services are treated differently under specific plan rules. These changes are intended to apply to plan years beginning after December 31, 2024.
