Premera has updated our
behavioral health approach to cover the PHP (Partial Hospital Program) and IOP
(Intensive Outpatient Program) virtual care as standard benefits effective
January 1, 2021. Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) is covered in a virtual
setting until such time as government agencies no longer recommend social
distancing. Premera is covering ABA in a virtual setting until December 31,
2021.
