Facts and Figures
A new study from AHIP demonstrates that the vast majority of Consumer-Directed Health Plans (CDHPs) took advantage of the flexibilities that Congress permitted in 2020 and 2021, covering many physical and mental health care services on a pre-deductible basis.
Routine care (95%) and mental health care (95%) were the most common types of telehealth services covered by CDHPs pre-deductible.
The vast majority of CDHPs – over 80% – leveraged new flexibilities to cover telehealth services without a patient having to touch their deductible.
Behavioral health care services were the form of care most frequently accessed via telehealth pre-deductible, when looking at categories of care.
CDHPs covering telehealth services pre-deductible included all services that could be safely delivered through telehealth – no exceptions.
