I am working at a pain management clinic and the practice is currently looking into telehealth, using a face-to-face like Zoom, because of COVID. However, from what I am seeing, the only way we can bill for telehealth is if the originating site is not the patient's home. My manager insists that the current bill that was passed waives the originating site, however, I am directly reading from that act, Telehealth Services During Certain Emergency Periods, and it states
“(A) the requirements of paragraph (4)(C) of such section, except that a facility fee under paragraph (2)(B)(i) of such section may only be paid to an originating site that is a site described in any of subclauses (I) through (IX) of paragraph (4)(C)(ii) of such section"
From what I am interpreting, in order to bill for telehealth, there is still a requirement for patients to be in a designated originating site. I am just wondering if others are interpreting this the same way I am. Thanks
