Abstract
Responding to the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic health protective strategies has triggered an unprecedented surge in the use of telemental health services globally. An explosive growth in telemental health services has
emerged due to remarkable policy and regulatory changes in
reimbursements and licensure requirements. However, little
is known about disparities related to telemental health services in real-world settings. We aim to present the most recent
literature on telemental health disparities in the USA and propose strategies to improve equity in telemental health services
during the pandemic.
