Out of numerous changes in the healthcare industry, CMS has added another one by including Tele- Health services in the Medicare Payment Protocol as part of the healthcare emergency services during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Tele-Health clinics and healthcare providers have been facing a few challenges. And, the biggest concern is relating to the accurate Tele-Health billing and coding to get no or less denials. Moreover, it adds on more immense problems for the practices to stay afloat especially when Tele- Health clinics are struggling with the telemedicine services. Hence, it is essential to know how to code and bill the telemedicine services accurately. But have you ever analysed the reasons for such challenges? The challenges faced by the Tele-Health clinics are arising usually due to the drastic changes occurring in the Tele-Health policies.

  2. 1. Know the Codes for Billing in Tele-Health Services CMS has approved a list of correct codes for billing the Tele-Health services. They are:  G2010 for evaluating the patients’ images or videos that do not originate from or lead to an E/M service.  G2012 is used for virtual check-in or other communication with the healthcare provider using some technology.  G2061 – G2063 is established for services like assessment and management provided by a professional healthcare qualified non-physician online.  99421-99423 offers an online evaluation and management service to an established patient for seven days.  99441-99443 is to be used when Tele-Health services are provided only via telephone. info@247medicalbillingservices.com https://www.247medicalbillingservices.com/ 888-502-0537

  3. 2. Selecting the Right POS and Modifier There has been a change in the CMS interim final rule where the coders during the PHE should not use the POS 02 Tele-Health. Instead of using the CMS-1500 form, the coders must enlist POS, which would be used when there is no PHE. For example, the coder is to use POS 11 if the beneficiary was seen at the clinic by the provider. According to the CMS, the correct modifiers for the Tele-Health billing amends are:  95 – Use of audio and video technology to provide Tele-Health service  G0 – In case of symptoms of acute stroke, there is the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment with a Tele-Health service  GT – Interactive audio/visual technology is used to offer telemedicine services  GQ – Services in telemedicine are provided through an asynchronous telecommunication system. info@247medicalbillingservices.com https://www.247medicalbillingservices.com/ 888-502-0537
