Wiki Inpatient Telehealth Consult vs admit?

[bshasby@gmail.com]

Hi, Our hospitalists are looking to provide inpatient telehealth. Medicare has waived the originating site requirements. It doesn't look like CPTS 99221-99223 are on the telehealth list. Would you bill G0425-G0427 instead? Who and when would these be appropriate?

Thanks!!!

How exactly are they going to do a physical exam on a patient?

Via the live/interactive video/audio system. It will most likely be a limited exam.
