I know we have talked to death Telemed codes. I need to know if NP/PA's can bill I2 for the service? and if they can what codes/documentation would we need.

Thank you
 
Maybe I'm missing something, but what is I2??
Telehealth (interactive audio and video) may be billed E/M codes POS 02 by providers that may typically bill E/M codes. That included your NPs and PAs.

UPDATE ON 04/02/2020 TO ORIGINAL POST, AS GUIDANCE FROM CMS HAS CHANGED
As of 03/31/2020, CMS states for telehealth, "report the POS code that would have been reported had the service been furnished in person." with modifier -95 to designate it was telehealth. This way, you will get full reimbursement for nonfacility location, instead of reduced facility rate with POS 02.
Medicare will also now reimburse 99441-99443.

Guidance about POS/modifiers page 14-15. Guidance about 99441-99443 starts at bottom of 126.
This is CMS guidance only, and you should check with your commercial carriers about their rules.
