TDI extends
telemedicine emergency rule into September
The
Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) is extending a requirement that
insurers cover telemedicine services, including mental health visits,
at the same rate as in-person visits. An emergency rule in place since
March helps doctors across Texas treat their patients and limit the
spread of COVID-19.
The
original emergency rule took effect March 17 and was set to expire July
14. With the extension, the rule will remain in effect through
September 12.
