Medicaid coverage for use of telehealth continues: Med-QUEST wants to assure all Medicaid members and providers that telehealth is still a covered way to receive and provide care. There is some confusion because the federal government shutdown has limited Medicare’s (NOT MEDICAID’s) ability to cover telehealth. We encourage all Med-QUEST members and providers to proceed as normal regarding use of telehealth. |
Med-QUEST is analyzing HR 1 and the impact this bill will have on how we currently operate our Medicaid program. As we move through understanding the details and timelines of the new rules and requirements, please know that the Department of Human Services and its Med-QUEST division remains true to our dedication to the health and wellbeing of our people. We encourage all of our members to continue to access healthcare by making and keeping appointments with your health care professional and picking up any medications that are prescribed. We will provide notice to any member of any changes to their coverage well in advance of any change being implemented.
