We are a specialist group wanting to bill telehealth but do NOT have an online portal how would we go about billing since they will not be conducting a normal
E & M?
 
Medicare recently lifted a lot of restrictions on Telehealth to allow for providers to bill during this critical time. You are able to bill using Skype and/or Facetime now. This was never an option before as it is not considered HIPAA compliant. Medicare allows billing of face-to-face E/M codes (ex. 99211-99215) for Telehealth and they are reimbursing it at the same amount. I'm still not clear on the allowable codes/reimbursement for commercial payers so you might want to check on that for your area.

Here is a link that might be of help:
