telehealth

Telehealth was a pandemic silver lining for the healthcare industry, but distance medicine won’t be as commonplace going forward.

The CVS pharmacy chain, which began offering in-person mental health counseling at a handful of Tampa-area stores this year, is now offering those services via telehealth throughout Florida.

Florida doctors are already practicing telehealth without a regulatory system in place, but most insurance companies don't cover the visits. Some telehealth supporters are drafting proposals that state lawmakers could consider during regular session in January, but so far, none have passed muster.
