During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare providers may reduce or waive cost-sharing for telehealth (and other virtual care) visits paid for by federal healthcare programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. This includes audio and video cognitive therapy visits for established and new patients.
