Telehealth/Telemedicine Services
Various payers have different rules for billing telehealth services, and this article is a collection of the best information that we know about them. If you have information that isn't here please let us know and we will add it. All payers require that you select "Telehealth" for the Setting on a chart item, which will submit the resulting claim with a Place of Service Code 02. Some payers require a special modifier be used to designate telehealth services, and in ChartCaddy that means that you have to use "Telemedicine" services. Most payers have special rules during the COVID19 crisis, and this article will be updated once things return to normal.
