December 31, 2020
Excellus BlueCross BlueShield is steadfast in it’s commitment to ensuring continuity of
care for their members during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Due to the recent
surge in COVID-19 cases in the communities that Excellus serves, they are reinstating
reimbursement for preventive health visits for children and adults conducted via
telehealth when an in-person visit is not advisable and postponement is not feasible. This
assistance contingency is effective immediately; they will provide advance notice to
providers prior to discontinuance of this contingency.
