Urgent Telemedicine Update
The Centers for Medicare & Medicad Services has announced that additional emergency measures have been put into place to temporarily expand the use of telemedicine. These measures will include allowing providers to conduct telemedicine visits with patients who are located in their homes. The provider must use an interactive audio and video telecommunications system that permits real-time communication between the distant site (i.e., physician's office or other location) and the patient at home.

Coding and Billing Update for Telemedicine
CPT Codes
When providing psychiatric services by telemedicine, psychiatrists should use the same CPT codes used for an in-person encounter (e.g., 99212+90836 for a combination psychotherapy service, 99215 for a standalone E/M service or 90845 for psychoanalysis).
For all services being provided via telemedicine, use Place of Service (POS) Code 02. Please note that use of POS 02 is required for services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. Please note that some commercial carriers also require the use of modifier 95 to indicate the use of telemedicine. Modifier GT is no longer in use and was retired effective 1/1/18.
