COVID-19: Telehealth March 16, 2020 The MO HealthNet Division (MHD) is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus. The virus has been named "SARS-CoV-2" and the disease it causes has been named "coronavirus disease 2019" (abbreviated "COVID-19").... MO HealthNet covers Telehealth services. Please find information regarding Telehealth here: https://dss.mo.gov/mhd/providers/pdf/bulletin41-20-2018.pdf. You can also view the Missouri Telehealth law here: 191.1145, 191.1146, 208.670, and 208.677. During this event, the MHD is waiving the requirement that physicians must have an established relationship with the patient before providing services via telehealth. Telehealth services may be provided to a MHD participant, while at home, using their telephone. There is not a separate telehealth fee schedule. Reimbursement to health care providers delivering the medical service at the distant site is equal to the current fee schedule amount for the service provided. This Hot Tip also applies to providers that are contracted with the Managed Care Organizations.
