Wiki postpartum telehealth visit

[metzger130]

Patient did not want to come into office due to coronavirus and instead had a telehealth for the postpartum visit. Is this billable due to it being telehealth or is this still a global visit since it was a global delivery?

Thank you,
Rob

Everything is the same as if it was done in the office.

Thank you, I have never billed telehealth until now. Been a crash course

Make sure you check with the payer, I found that the only Telehealth codes we can bill are E/M codes, so if you're billing for postpartum and use code 59430 with a Telehealth POS 2 they may reject it.
