Is It Hard for You to Get to Your Provider Appointments?
Do you have trouble getting around? Do you live in a rural part of the state? If so, Telehealth Services may be right for you. Telehealth Services are covered just like an in-person doctor visit. And these services may be available at no cost to you!
Telehealth Services Let You Visit with a Provider by Phone or Video.
You will get the care you need without driving a long distance. When you see a provider through Telehealth, it will be a lot like a regular office visit. Services may include everyday care for non-emergency conditions, behavioral health, dermatology, and more!
Services not covered include:
- Standard phone calls, faxes or email – combined or separate.
- Getting your medication based on an online survey.
Any in-person care that needs prior approval will need the same prior approval through Telehealth.
