Telehealth Updates 2023

The CMS released new updates in January 2023 for the medicare fee schedule summary for telehealth services. 

The updates are effective from January 1, 2023 and the implemented date is January 3, 2023. 

The major changes are Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and mentioned following four category and every providers, coders and billing staff knows this guidelines and changes.

  • Telehealth originating site facility fee payment amount
  • Expansion of coverage for colorectal cancer screening
  • Coverage of Audiology services
  • Other covered services

The Medicare will continue to pay the telehealth service payment at same rate in person outpatient fee rate through out end of the 2023, And there is no changes and or decrease the fee rate. 

And also, the Medicare will continuously paying the audio visit service CPT code 99441, 99442 & 99443 at the same rate of outpatient established office rate for the length of service/time spends with the patient.

For Medicare patients, the provider would continue to bill the telehealth claims with the place of services indicate that the service bill under In-Person visit. And the claims must be billed with modifier 95 to indicate the service is performed in telehealth.

For Medicare adding new HCPCS codes to the list of telehealth services on a category 1, and the HCPCS codes are G0316, G0317, G0318, G3002, and G3003.

We are keeping many services that are temporarily available as telehealth services for the duration of  the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) on a Category 3 basis through CY 2023 and including the following CPT codes.

The CPT codes are 90875, 90901, 92012, 92014, 92550, 92552, 92553, 92555-92557, 92563, 92567, 92568, 92570, 92587, 92588, 92601, 92625-92627, 94005, 95970, 95983, 95984, 96105, 96110, 96112, 96113, 96127, 96170, 96171, 97129, 97130, 97150-97158, 97530, 97537, 97542, 97763, 98960-98962, 99473, 0362T, and 0373T. 

These codes are available up to through December 31, 2023 in Medicare telehealth list.

The Category 3 CPT codes in telehealth services will be covered through 2023 and the Non-facility payment rates for telehealth services will remain the same through 2023 (physician offices are defined by Medicare as “Non-Facility” setting.

So this means telehealth payments will remain the same as in-person through 2023 and the direct supervision may continue to be provided virtually through 2023.

The CMS decided to continue paying for all of the codes on the telehealth list that were scheduled to stop 151 days after the PHE through the end of 2023.

Telehealth Originating site facility fee rate Update

The payment amount for HCPCS code Q3014 (Telehealth originating site facility fee) is 80% of the lesser of the actual charge, or $28.64 for CY 2023 services.

Other than office visit codes, the E/M visits includes following,

  • Hospital inpatient, 
  • Hospital observation, 
  • Emergency department, 
  • Nursing facility, 
  • Home services, 
  • Residence services, and 
  • Cognitive impairment assessment visits. \
For 2023, Medicare adopting the revised CPT codes for Other E/M visits (except for prolonged services)
  • G0316 for reporting prolonged hospital inpatient or observation services
  • G0317 for prolonged nursing facility services
  • G0318 for prolonged home or residence services
  • G2212, for  prolonged office/outpatient services
  • G3002 - Chronic Pain Management
  • G3003 - Chronic Pain Management 

Place of Service Updates

The place of services code is provided to pay the claims correctly at the same time the health care providers need for the specificity than Medicare for the services rendered. And the Medicare does not always need this greater the specificity to pay the claims.

The following two codes are created to meet the industry standards,

POS 02: Telehealth Provided Other than in Patient’s Home Descriptor

  • The location where health services and health related services are provided or received, through telecommunication technology. 
  • Patient is not located in their home when receiving health services or health related services through telecommunication technology. 

POS 10: Telehealth Provided in Patient’s Home Descriptor

  • The location where health services and health related services are provided or received through telecommunication technology. 
  • Patient is located in their home (which is a location other than a hospital or other facility where the patient receives care in a private residence) when receiving health services or health related services through telecommunication technology

But the Medicare does not identified a need for new place of service code (POS 10). The MACs will instruct their providers to continue to use the Medicare billing instructions for Telehealth claims in specified under section Pub. 100-04.

Telehealth Update Medicare - 2022

The listed CPT codes are covered in telehealth and changes are effective from dated on June 16, 2022

Medicare telehealth services require that the services occur over real-time audio and visual interactive telecommunications. For purposes of diagnosis, evaluation, or treatment of mental health disorders.

If the patient doesn’t have the technical capacity or the availability of real-time audio and visual interactive telecommunications, or they don’t consent to the use of real-time video technology, we allow audio-only communication for telehealth mental health services to established patients located in their homes.

After the PHE ends, Telehealth Mental Health services may include new or established patients so long as an in-person, face-to-face, non-telehealth service takes place within 6 months of the telehealth mental health services.

This means that all telehealth mental health patients should have had a first in-person visit no later than 6 months after the PHE.

After the PHE and after the initial 6-month in-person visit, all telehealth mental health patients must have a subsequent non-telehealth in-person visit within 12 months of the initial 6-month in-person visit date

During the initial 6-month in-person visit or during the subsequent 12-month in-person visits, if the original telehealth practitioner is unavailable for the face-to-face visit, we allow the clinician’s colleague in the same subspecialty and in the same group practice, to provide the in-person, non-telehealth service to the patient.

There are two additional modifiers for the current year in 2022 that relate to telehealth mental health services. The modifiers are, 

  • FQ - A telehealth service was furnished using real-time audio-only communication technology
  • FR - A supervising practitioner was present through a real-time two-way, audio/video communication technology

Telehealth Updates - 2022

Telehealth

The telemedicine will be providing to improve a patient's health by permitting two-way, real time interactive audio and video communication between into the patients, and the physician or practitioner at the distant site.

Requirements

  • Two way real time interactive audio and video communication must be documented in the medical record.
  • Type of communication -Used devices.
  • Patient Location and Provider Location.

Place of Services (POS) Changes

  • Effective Date - January 1, 2022
  • Implementation Date - April 4, 2022

The place of service can be used to specify the setting information necessary to pay the claims correctly. And new place of service introduced place of service (POS 10), revised the description of POS code 02 to meet the overall industry needs.

POS 02 - Telehealth Provided Other than in "Patient’s Home"

Description: The location where health services and health related services are provided or received, through telecommunication technology. Patient is not located in their home when receiving health services or health related services through telecommunication technology.

POS 10: Telehealth Provided in "Patient’s Home"

Description: The location where health services and health related services are provided or received through telecommunication technology. Patient is located in their home (which is a location other than a hospital or other facility where the patient receives care in a private residence) when receiving health services or health related services through telecommunication technology.

Insurance Updates

Beginning Jan. 1, Anthem and UnitedHealthcare (UHC) will require commercial and Medicare Advantage plans to use new place of service (POS) 10 for telehealth provided in the patient’s home. 

Place of service 02 should continue to be used when telehealth is provided anywhere other than a patient’s home (e.g., a hospital or skilled nursing facility). 

Mental Health Services

Reimbursement for audio-only services for mental health will continue after the public health emergency ends.

Following changes made through new federal legislation, CMS will allow audio-only services to be provided for the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of mental health conditions and substance use disorders after the public health emergency (PHE) ends. 

Telehealth Extended Date

UnitedHealthcare will extend the expansion of telehealth access for in-network and out-of-network providers through the national public health emergency period, currently scheduled to end April 15, 2022.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed in the 2022 Physician Fee Schedule to extend telehealth flexibilities through 2023 instead of through the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency, which is expected to run through this year.

APA supported CMS’s proposal allowing all psychological and neuropsychological testing services to be provided via telehealth after the PHE ends. 

The CMS adopted this proposal, keeping psychological and neuropsychological testing on the temporary (category 3) telehealth list through the end of 2023.

Info: Medicare does not identified a need for new place of service code 10. And the MACs will instruct their providers to continue to use the Medicare billing instructions for Telehealth claims.
