On July 30, 2020, HHSC announced that telehealth flexibilities have been extended through October 23, 2020 unless the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services ends the public health emergency earlier. If the public health emergency ends earlier, HHSC will provide additional information.

Therefore, some SHARS services may be delivered through synchronous audio-visual technologies. These include:

– Audiology services
– Counseling/ Psychological services
– Occupational therapy
– Physician services
– Physical therapy

Remember, service providers must document parental agreement with telehealth services.  For more information or to speak with a SHARS Medicaid expert, contact support@onwardlearning.com.
