“This morning, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to temporarily allow for reimbursement of doctor, therapist, and other licensed provider visits when the visit occurs electronically via Skype or other similar method, and at the same rate as an in-person visit, subject to normal Plan rules.” A summary of the change notes that “the Plan normally offers telemedicine visits exclusively through LiveHealth Online. However, in light of the extraordinary circumstances, the Trustees have acted to temporarily expand the telemedicine program so that, effective March 16, 2020, any office visit that is otherwise covered under the Plan and that can be conducted online will not be excluded solely because it is held online. These office visits will be covered, subject to normal Plan rules.
