Hi!

The following are notes taken at a seminar regarding Medicare Telehealth requirements.

• Time-based coding. E/M codes w/ GT and 02 Modifiers
o GT- Asynchronous code- 02- Place of Service

• Patient must present at an originating site w/patient presenter
o Hospitals
o ™ Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs)
o ™ Rural Health Clinics
o ™ Federally Qualified Health Centers
o ™ Hospital-based or CAH-based Renal
o Dialysis Centers (including satellites)
o ™ Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs)
o ™ Community Mental Health Centers

• Must live in a rural health professional shortage area

What's not defined is, who can be a patient presenter?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
