Healthcare providers use specific Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes to bill for telehealth services. These codes are used to identify the type of service provided during the virtual visit.
Common CPT Codes for telehealth include those from the 99000 series (e.g., 99201-99215 for office visits) with a modifier -95 or GT (depending on payer requirements) to indicate that the service was provided via telehealth.
The Place of Service code is an important component of medical billing that indicates where the service was performed. For telehealth services, providers typically use POS code 02, which signifies that the service was delivered via an interactive audio and video telecommunications system.
We are Educating healthcare providers on proper coding and documentation practices for telehealth billing. Offer training sessions or resources to ensure that they understand the nuances of billing for virtual services.
We are Emphasizing the importance of maintaining patient privacy and complying with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) during telehealth interactions. Ensuring that any telehealth platforms used are HIPAA-compliant.
