Wiki BCBS switching to new telehealth CPT

[admin@k2derm.com]

Is there any chatter out there about BCBS only accepting the new Telehealth CPT codes as of July 1. I'm wondering, too if other payers are going to be following suit? Any resources for accessing this information would be great.
Thanks!

Hi there, each Blue sets its own policy. BCBS Michigan did announce that it will cover the new 980XX codes as of July 1. Other Blues are already accepting them, but some Blues have said they won't accept them. I haven't checked on Anthem in a while.
Here's a very short list from April https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/Blogs/Detail.aspx?id=201110

Thanks for the link. And I agree with the headline!
