PART 1: CMS NEW Telehealth COVID-19 Rule:
Get Paid for Virtual Care Services
Order the On-Demand Recording to Watch at Your Convenience.
CMS has the answer on how to overcome the obstacles of providing (and getting paid for) telehealth services. Medicare is waiving virtual care restrictions with their new COVID-19 Telehealth Rules.
These waivers will allow you to treat more patients with fewer staff, prevent virus spread, and protect the health of your entire team. With these new rules, Medicare (and some private payers) are paying for non-face-to-face services (even in non-emergency areas). The catch is, you must know how to accurately code for telehealth (99201-99215) and virtual care services (G2010, G2012) to get paid.
This is where nationally recognized coding expert and educator, Leonta Williams, MBA, RHIA, CCS, CCDS, CPC, CPCO, CEMC, CHONC, CRC, can help. During her online training session, you’ll receive step-by-step expert advice on how you can increase your telemedicine and virtual care services reimbursement and avoid common compliance missteps, so you’re protected from the audits that Medicare is promising when this is all over.
Here are just some of the ways you’ll learn how to improve your remote services coding accuracy, increase your reimbursement and reduce your compliance risk by attending this practical, 60-minute session:
Identify when telehealth and virtual care services qualify with Medicare’s COVID-19 new rules
Maximize telehealth by determining when originating site is waived
More easily differentiate between virtual care and telehealth services to head off denials
Safely extend NPs and PAs reach with digital E/M services (99421-99423, G2061, G2062, G2063)
Eliminate underpayments, follow virtual care face-to-face service exclusions
Add phone call revenue (i.e. 99213, 99214) when CMS’ COVID-19 new requirements are met
Protect your reimbursement with essential patient consent language documentation
Reduce audits and hidden violations with proven chart processes that support your billing
Match the right CPT and Telehealth Place of Service to capture more of what you’re due
Prevent claims rejections: Adhere to billing guidelines and bundles
And so much more …
IMPORTANT: Virtual care encompasses much more than just telemedicine. You most likely are performing functions right now that you could be paid utilizing these virtual care codes and don’t even realize it. This training will walk you through how to accurately apply these new codes regardless of your practice specialty, size or location.
By accurately coding for remote services, you CAN help your providers earn more while working smarter, not harder, AND ease the strain of the coronavirus panic. This training will help you increase the likelihood that your telehealth and virtual care claims will be coded accurately, are paid more quickly and comply with CMS’ new COVID-19 Telehealth Rules.
Don’t delay, reserve your access and sign up for this expert-led online training today.
Access Rule Modification: Current access rules have been changed. With increased numbers of people working from home to self-isolate and hinder the spread of this fast-spreading virus, online training access has been expanded to include anyone from your company that wants to attend (previously it was per location).
PART 2: Coronavirus: Get Paid for Private Pay
Non-Face-to-Face Patient Care
Order the On-Demand Recording to Watch at Your Convenience.
Getting your providers paid for non face-to-face services is about so much more than just optimizing their time and productivity. With the fast spread of COVID-19, it’s now about keeping your providers and your staff healthy and safe.
It would be great if you didn’t have to worry about the revenue right now, but even during an extreme situation like the one you are facing, there are still bills to pay.
Fortunately, there are a variety of options available that allow your practitioners to see Medicare AND Private Payer patients remotely, and get paid for the non-face-to-face services.
Both Private Insurers and Medicare are reimbursing for more and more remote services, but to get paid, you must know how to correctly code, bill and document for them.
This is where nationally-recognized coding and training expert, Kim Garner Huey, MJ, CHC, CPC, CCS-P, PCS, CPCO, can help.
During her online training, you’ll receive step-by-step strategies on how to more accurately and easily code, bill and document the non-face-to-face services your physicians and physician extenders provide.
Here are just a some of the proven tactics you’ll learn that will help your providers see more patients remotely while holding off the spread of this hyper-infectious virus and get them more accurately paid for their services.
Get paid for telephone consults using office visit code (99211-99213), not phone codes (99441-99443)
Master consent requirements to support digital communication codes (G2010, G2012)
Determine how to count providers as qualified non-face-to-face providers
Meet the latest communication codes (99421-99423, G2010-G2012) platform requirements
Identify what ICD-10-CM limits apply to non-face-to-face services
Treat and bill new patients remotely too with codes 99201-99215
Unlock pay for remote image evaluations of chest, heart and more (G2010)
Offer remote PT, OT, mental health assessments (G2061-G2063) and get paid
Accurately match POS and modifiers by top payers with real-world scenarios
Capture reimbursement for email and portal communications (99421-99423)
And much, much more …
IMPORTANT: Be cautious of false information. Much of the non-face-to-face coding and billing information available online is outdated. This expert-led training will walk you through the most up-to-date regulations, and tell you how to accurately bill for them and get paid more of what you deserve (regardless of your practice specialty, size or location).
You’re most likely performing services RIGHT NOW that qualify for non face-to-face reimbursement; you just need to know how to correctly submit these claims. Doing so will help your practitioners work safer, provide your patients with the care they need and avoid jeopardizing the reimbursement you are rightfully due.
This training will help you increase the likelihood that your non-face-to-face services will be more accurately and quickly paid and comply with new Private Payer COVID-19 Non-Face-to-Face Rules.

Order the On-Demand Recording to Watch at Your Convenience.
Recently, Medicare and a variety of private payers have implemented copay and cost sharing waivers related to COVID-19 that you must comply with.
You can rest assured that when the coronavirus outbreak has subsided, auditors will be looking for practices that didn’t adhere to these new rules, and you DON’T want to be one of them.
The changes encompass more than whether you should collect a copay or not. These new rules have modified documentation requirements, changed when you can and can’t write-off amounts due, waive copays for a variety of virtual care services, and altered your out-of-network obligations. The good news is that you don’t have to face these rule modifications alone.

Here are just a few of the front-line coronavirus waiver questions you’ll receive answers to during this upcoming, 60-minute online training session:
Are co-pays for commercial insurance companies waived for all telehealth visits?
What telehealth waivers are available to help care for individuals who are quarantined/self-isolated?
Will CMS issue guidance on loosening prior authorization requirements for populations who may be quarantined?
Is the test for the detection of COVID-19 coverable?
What will payers consider medically necessary to qualify for a copay waiver?
Have telehealth requirements changed to receive reimbursement for non-face-to-face home health care?
Are copays only waived for telehealth visits regarding COVID-19 exposure or all visits?
Has cost sharing been waived for COVID-19 tests and treatment?
If providing drive up testing services, are they billable, and have copays been waived?
And so many more…
Don’t risk the consequences of noncompliance with recent Medicare and private payer waiver rule changes. Medicare and private payer auditors are ready to go when this pandemic ends – and it will end. They have made it clear that they are counting on the additional revenue based on findings of fraud.
You can protect your practice and yourself from having to fight back against allegations of fraud and be authorized to get paid for more of the claims that you file by attending this upcoming expert-led training and implementing what you learn. It really is that easy.
