Description of Program and Relief

Expansion of Telehealth Options

Governor Whitmer signed Executive Order 2020-86, which expands telehealth options for Michiganders by authorizing and encouraging health care providers to use these services when appropriate and after getting consent from patients. Under the order, many health care services, such as mental health care, drug treatment, and home health services may be provided via telehealth and strict compliance with certain restrictions is suspended to the extend necessary to enforce the order. Additionally, insurance carriers must cover virtual check-ins and e-visits, to facilitate the affordability of telehealth services.
