Are we able to use the H2015 15 minute unit, for leaving a voicemail or attempts at contact? I was under the impression that there should be at least 8 minutes of contact for this to be billable.
 
5.6.4Services Provided by Telephone Specialty mental health services provided over the telephone (e.g. Collateral) are not Medicare reimbursable and should be billed directly to Medi-Cal. When services are delivered by telephone, indicate the appropriate Place of Service code and use the modifier “SC” with procedure codes H2010 and H2015. This specifies that the service was provided by telephone. For example, if a telephone service is provided in an office, use modifier “SC” with Place of Service code 11 (“Office”). Leaving a telephone message, scheduling an appointment, or other clerical functions are neither Medicare nor Medi-Cal reimbursable activities.Services provided by telephone differ from telemedicine services. Telemedicine services are Medicare reimbursable when provided from a clinic through interactive voice and visual interface between the provider and the beneficiary and when provided in specific, eligible geographic regions. Services provided via telemedicine should be claimed to Medicare prior to Medi-Cal unless another exception to prior Medicare claiming exists.
