BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Bipartisan measure would allow standalone telehealth benefit plans

February 08, 2023 Reprints

A bipartisan group of representatives has reintroduced the Telehealth Benefit Expansion for Workers Act that would allow employers to offer standalone telehealth benefits to workers, similar to dental and vision plans, in addition to traditional health insurance, reports Drug Topics. Congressional action on telemedicine benefits could become more urgent with President Joe Biden’s announcement to end the COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11. That change will end telehealth benefits that legally were expanded as the nation responded to the spread of COVID-19.
