Summary
Wellcare By Health Net clarifies that Medicare Advantage (MA) plan telehealth benefits continue unchanged, separate from the COVID telehealth waiver that only affects Traditional Medicare fee-for-service members. MA plans offer $0 copay telehealth through Teladoc and regular copays for network provider telehealth visits.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should verify patient plan type before telehealth visits. For MA plan members using Teladoc services, bill with $0 copay. For MA plan members receiving telehealth from network providers, apply standard copay based on provider type (e.g., PCP copay for primary care telehealth visits). Contact Provider Services at 800-929-9224 for Individual/Employer Group Plans or 800-641-7761 for Medicare Supplement with billing questions.
