Behavioral Health e-Memo

New COVID-19 telemedicine resources now online

The Behavioral Health Division has added two new resources for providers to the COVID-19 adult and children’s mental health pages and the alcohol, drugs and other addictions page at the DHS website. Both resources are to help navigate through recent changes regarding telemedicine and other now-permitted uses of live streaming video to provide services.

• Behavioral Health Division COVID-19 FAQs answers questions about telehealth and other now-permitted uses of streaming video and telephone to provide services. Be sure to check back often as new questions and answers are added.
• At a Glance: Behavioral Health Telemedicine Waivers (PDF) provides an overview of recent changes in telemedicine with links to more information about each.

For these resources and for more information about recent waiver and other changes, visit the behavioral health COVID-19 pages:
