My insurance is all of the sudden denying claims for phone therapy.

In my research online, CA , my state, has telehealthcare laws that protect therapy, but not sure if by phone. Need help advice, any legal orgs or advocacy groups I can contact??

This is ruining my state of mind, i am so worried

Telehealth - Licensees | Medical Board of California

This makes it sound like the main practitioner needs to be licensed in california.

Hi Hellion-
Thanks for asking. I'm in CA, T is in MA---he has been my T for decades, literally.

Anyone got a teleportation device, as in Star Trek?
