H.R. 9431 was introduced on June 24, 2026, by Rep. Jahana Hayes (CT-05). The bill would ban hospitals from charging a separate facility fee on top of the regular doctor's fee for telehealth visits — even when the patient never enters the building. These hidden fees can add up to $1,000 in surprise costs. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce and can be tracked at congress.gov.
If you use telehealth visits linked to a hospital, you may currently be charged a facility fee even though you never enter the building. This bill would change whether that extra charge is allowed.
