Pdf Summary
This resource provides guidance to home-based medical care programs on using telehealth services to care for patients with expanded reimbursement opportunities after the pandemic. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have specific coverage requirements for telehealth services. During the pandemic, CMS temporarily eliminated the requirement for patients to travel to an approved healthcare facility for telehealth services and began reimbursing telehealth services at the same rate as in-person care. CMS has extended coverage and payment for telehealth services until December 31, 2024, with temporary and permanent changes to guidelines and billing codes. Some of these changes include allowing FQHCs and RHCs to serve as distant site providers, allowing Medicare patients to receive telehealth services at home, and removing geographic restrictions for originating sites. The document also provides information on billing codes, modifiers, consent requirements, and reimbursement opportunities for video visits, telephone services, online digital services, and remote evaluation services. It also discusses the use of technology, documentation requirements, and communication technology-based services. The resource includes a list of eligible distant site practitioners and additional implementation considerations. The document concludes by providing information on the HCCIntelligence Resource Center, which offers free and premium resources for home-based primary care providers.
