Clarification: Telehealth visits and DME/P&O
In an October 2018 Record article, we reported that members can no longer receive prescriptions for durable medical equipment, prosthetics and orthotics items through telehealth visits. We should have added that this doesn’t apply to CPAP devices.
Keep in mind that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will continue to cover medically necessary DME items ordered by providers after face-to-face visits.
