Hello-

We employ Genetic counselors who provide telehealth services either by phone or video. I want to be sure we are accurately capturing and billing things accordingly so if anyone can advise here that would be great.
We document tele-visit modality either by phone only or live video.
Every detail of the consultation is documented to include length of discussion specific details discussed, medical history, family history risk assessment for all conditions that apply and testing summary.

It is my understanding that we can bill/code these with 96040 Per unit. (15+ minutes to 30minutes) and apply either the 93 or 95 mod accordingly and POS 02 to indicate this was a telehealth visit.
These services are being provided by Certified Genetic Counselors that have their own NPI's.

Any advice or confirmation of this is appreciated.
