Telehealth services Aetna, UnitedHealth, more payers cover during COVID-19

To help expand access to care during the COVID-19 pandemic, several insurance companies have loosened restrictions on telehealth claims for both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 related care.
In March, CMS began reimbursing providers that perform more than 85 different telehealth services for beneficiaries during the pandemic.
Here are four payers that have also expanded telehealth coverage:
