Is it appropriate for a provider who had a phone only visit with a patient, visit scheduled by patient as phone only telemedicine visit for sinusitis, scheduled visit initiated by the provider at appointment time, to bill an E&M (99213) and add a GT to indicate this was a telemedicine visit vs using the phone only time based codes 99441?
 
Who is the payer? If it's medicare, as a condition of payment, you must use an interactive audio and video telecommunications system that permits real-time communication between you, at the distant site, and the beneficiary, at the originating site.

Doesn't seem like your guy has an interactive video and audio in this particular case.
