I am fairly new to coding. Is there a difference between telehealth and telephone services. Also, is there a specific cpt code for telehealth? Thanks for any help I can get.
 
They are not the same thing - telehealth requires interactive audio and visual real-time interaction between the provider and patient. There aren't specific codes for telehealth services - you'd code based on the service provided. Here's a link to Medicare guide for telehealth coding and billing which should give you most of the background you're looking for, including a list of what services/codes are allowed using telehealth:
