COVID-19: Important measures to ensure member care
To support you in ensuring Magellan members get the care and services they need during this national state of emergency, we have taken various measures, such as:
- Waiving requirements to provide services via telehealth (e.g., attestations).
- Allowing sessions via telephone if telehealth is not possible.
- Permitting intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP) to deliver services via telehealth if feasible.
Review these important Q&As for behavioral health providers for details. |
