Telehealth is paid for by which payer?

• A. Self-pay
• B. Medicare
• C. Private insurers
• D. Insurance

Answer: (D)

Telehealth visits are typically reimbursed through a third‑party payer rather than being paid entirely out of pocket by the family. The payer is insurance because the service is billed to an insurance plan, which then reimburses the provider. This umbrella category covers private insurers as well as government programs like Medicare/Medicaid, so choosing Insurance reflects the usual reimbursement flow for pediatric telehealth. Self-pay would mean no insurer is billed, which is not the standard path when a patient has coverage. Understanding this helps you see why the broad payer category is the correct choice.
