CAHP Webinar: Telehealth in 2021: Medi-Cal
Wednesday, March 3, 2021
Telehealth use has grown significantly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The end of many in person medical visits and changes in federal and state law resulted in a rapid expansion of the use of telehealth services in California especially for those in the Medi-Cal program. For example, in the spring of 2020 Med-Cal plans reported as high as a 400% increase in members using telehealth services. Health plans played a key role in expanding the use of telehealth but so did providers- many of whom had not provided these services in the past. While there were growing pains it is likely that our health care system has undergone lasting change. This seminar will look at this incredible challenge and opportunity from a health plan and provider perspective and consider where telehealth can go in the future.
