“MAOs may provide smartphones and/or tablets as a supplemental benefit for primarily health related purposes, including in order to aid in the use of telehealth or remote access technology services in response to the covid-19 outbreak… smartphones or tablets must only be used for primarily health related purposes, such as when the device is locked except for remote monitoring or to enable engagement with healthcare providers.”
