Telehealth codes and payment guidelines include a variety of non-face-to-face services that you might not expect to be eligible for reimbursement – many of which you probably provide now and are just not being paid for.
The good news is that in addition to Medicare reimbursing for telemedicine services, 38 states now have laws requiring private payers to also pay for them. The problem is that correctly coding and billing for telehealth is complicated, but get it right and the financial reward can be significant – but you have to know how….
