What does Medicare consider an originating site for Telemedicine services?

Medicare (CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services]) has some guidance to help you identify what might qualify as an originating site. You will need to verify with your other payers if you are dealing with someone other than Medicare.

The Medicare originating site locations are physician or practitioner offices, hospitals, critical access hospitals (CAHs), rural health clinics (RHCs), federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), hospital-based or CAH-based renal dialysis centers (including satellites), skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and community mental health centers (CMHCs). All of these can be qualifying originating sites.
