#Codes for telehealth visits code#
My recommendation: for real-time, audio/visual telecommunications you are not required to document time, if using MDM to select the code.īehavioral health_cpt codes behavioral health_E/M services care management CMS updates Code sets and reimbursement compliance issues CPT codes for preventive services CPT updates critical care services dermatology_essential resource dermatology_procedures E/M frequency data E/M medical decision making E/M overview E/M reference sheets FQHC general surgery_diagnosis coding general surgery_E/M services general surgery_modifiers general surgery_procedures global surgery issues HCC diagnosis coding hospital inpatient/observation ICD-10 coding level of service_history level of service_MDM level of service_time medicare incident-to and shared services minor procedures modifiers newborn care Preventive and problem visits preventive services for medicare primary care_diagnosis coding primary care_E/M services primary care_essential resource primary care_modifiers primary care_other E/M services primary care_preventive services primary care_procedures prolonged care remote physiologic monitoring screening and counseling for behavioral conditions teaching physician rules telehealthĪll content on CodingIntel is copyright protected. The complication is that the practitioner may not know which visits are being reviewed behind the scenes and translated to another type of visit. When reporting phone codes, you do need time, because those codes are selected based on time. When reporting office visit codes, you don’t need time. CMS increased the fees for these codes to match established patient visit codes. But, some payers, think Medicare, require you to use phone codes (99441-99443) for audio only. Second: If you are using office visit codes (99202-99215), you can select based on time or medical decision making. Documenting “telehealth visit” or “telemedicine visit” doesn’t differentiate this. Does a practitioner need to document time for a telehealth visit? What if it is audio only?įirst: For a telehealth visit, always document if it is with video or audio only.
