- Washington State and California have already mandated no cost-sharing on coronavirus testing and doctor visits, and CVS is going a step further, offering this nationwide for Aetna members, as well as zero co-pay for telemedicine visits for any reason.
- It's probably a pretty good business decision, particularly in an election year, and also not a bad way to advertise the telemedicine business.
- There will no doubt be pressure on other insurers to do the same. Cigna, for example, announced its copay waiver for its members yesterday.
