SAN DIEGO – Telemedicine services can reach children with mental health needs in underserved rural and urban communities, but physicians must know how to find those services.

In a video interview at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Jane Oski of Tuba City (Ariz.) Regional Health Care explains how Medicaid reimbursement for such services varies by state, and where physicians treating children in underserved areas should start in their search for telepsychiatry services and resources.
