Humana recently expanded access to more than 150 telehealth and other virtual services such as virtual check-ins, e-visits and telephone evaluations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The health insurer will reimburse for the telehealth visits through the duration of the public health emergency, according to the company's updated payment policy. An office visit delivered via telehealth by an in-network provider can now be reimbursed at the same rate as an in-person visit.
