If a code such as CPT 90876 requires 'face-to-face with patient' does this mean you can't perform it over the phone/telemedicine?
 
Face to face means you cannot provide this service over phone. Phone calls and telemedicine are two distinctly different things. Telemedicine is audio and visual media. there is an appendix in the CPT book that lists all codes you are allowed to append the modifier for telemedicine.
