Hi guys,
I have an OT who wants to get into telemedicine. I know that this is a relatively new field, and Medicare currently doesn't have any fee schedules for it. The codes as far as I know are 98966-98968 range. Since medicare doesn't pay for these codes (I could be wrong, but if there is no fee schedule it's safe to assume they don't pay for them) can we use consultation codes(the ones that medicare does pay) perhaps to replace them?
Does anyone have any experience with billing telemedice? I would highly appreciate the input.
