Emergency mandates permitted expanded use of telemedicine models to address certain medical and behavioral health conditions. Using a clinical case example, this article illustrates the many challenges that families of children with mental health needs face in receiving—and optimally benefiting from—mental health screening, assessment, treatment, and care coordination. These barriers have long been documented prior to the pandemic, but merit renewed consideration as telemedicine takes on a larger role in the healthcare system, particularly for primary care providers. Implications for patient families, providers, and healthcare systems are discussed, which could inform clinical and policy activities to achieve behavioral health equity for children.enArticle
