Codes that were implemented on an emergency basis by CMS for 
immediate service of public in Telehealth medicine:
Using modifier-95 indicates that the service rendered was originally 
performed via telehealth.
• If you belong to Hawaii or Alaska, and you are using asynchronous 
technology (store and forward), use modifier-GQ.
• All new and old patients can avail telehealth services, and only the codes 
99201- 99215 to be used for new patients.
• CPT code range for telephone services 99441 – 99443, can now be 
reimbursed by CMS in the following ways:
1.99441 – $14.42, 99442 – $28.15, 99443-$41.14
2. Rest of the rules remain to be the same and the only change is these are

What remains unchanged in Telehealth Billing?
The natural way of providing the telehealth service has not changed. 
The code that allows physicians to initiate a codable or billable 
encounter is G2012 – the virtual check-in code. The rest of the codes 
along with these updated changes, anyhow require the encounter to be 
initiated from the patient end.
The rules that were imposed in 2018 on physician’s fees schedule in a 
way of modernizing the healthcare system by using technology, reducing 
administrative burden and enhancing the patient–doctor relationship is 
given clarity this time, with letting know the restrictive and relaxation of 
rules as well. Moreover, new legislation covers a number of provisions, 
in which HHS (Health & Human Services) to provide guidance on waiving 
specific rules related to provision of telehealth care services.

What has changed in Telehealth billing?
It is an old-classroom rule that rural areas that are far away from availing regular 
services, telehealth services may not be covered for such areas, but now has 
been extended depending on emergencies.
CMS has given relaxation to these rules using a waiver code 1135 stating how 
and where a provider can render telehealth services. Medicare will now pay for 
offices, hospitals, and other visits furnished through telehealth throughout the 
nation that includes patient’s location of any demography, without any 
restrictions.
There is a waive-off for federal healthcare programs through telehealth visits by 
the Office of Inspector General, which is a flexible factor brought in telehealth 
medicine. During emergencies, there is no need for enforcing HIPAA compliance 
for all patient communications and allow availing of telehealth services to be 
provided through everyday communication tools or apps like FaceTime or Skype.
