The policy and payment landscape surrounding telehealth remains complex. Join expert Aimee Wilcox for this 60-minute "Lunch and Learn" session that will cover the most current rules for coding and billing Telehealth services, including recent updates in light of the COVID-10 Pandemic. All the major private payers cover telemedicine, and CMS broadened access to Medicare telehealth services during the pandemic to ensure that beneficiaries could receive a wider range of services from their providers without having to travel to a healthcare facility. The 1135 waiver expanded coverage for office, hospital, and other visits furnished via telecommunications and information technology - including in the patient's place of residence.

In all times, accurate code selection and modifier utilization continues to be the essential factor for securing the proper maximum reimbursement for telehealth services.

4. What coverage, reimbursement requirements, and limitations are being set by private payers?
