Blue Cross in March temporarily expanded telehealth coverage for behavioral health services, medication management and physical, speech and occupational therapy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These services will now be covered through Dec. 31.
The health insurer is also extending its cost-share waiver for COVID-19 testing, related office visits and in-network treatment through the end of the year and all telehealth services for Blue Cross members will continue to be covered at the same reimbursement rate as in-person visits.
