Extending Waiving of Cost Share for Telehealth
Posted on December 18, 2020
Health New England continues to allow clinically appropriate and medically necessary telehealth services with our in-network providers through the state of emergency. We shared earlier that we will waive member cost-sharing for COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 related medically necessary telehealth services.* This decision to waive member cost-share has been extended until March 31, 2021, for most plan members.**
*Some self-funded employer groups do not participate in Health New England’s Teladoc benefit, and/or have decided to not waive member cost-sharing for telehealth services. Members are advised to check plan materials for additional information.
**Health New England’s Medicare Advantage Members may be limited to cost-share waivers only during the declared state of emergency based on guidance from CMS.
