Telehealth Updates 2023

The CMS released new updates in January 2023 for the medicare fee schedule summary for telehealth services.

The updates are effective from January 1, 2023 and the implemented date is January 3, 2023.

The major changes are Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and mentioned following four category and every providers, coders and billing staff knows this guidelines and changes.

Telehealth originating site facility fee payment amount
Expansion of coverage for colorectal cancer screening
Coverage of Audiology services
Other covered services

The Medicare will continue to pay the telehealth service payment at same rate in person outpatient fee rate through out end of the 2023, And there is no changes and or decrease the fee rate.

And also, the Medicare will continuously paying the audio visit service CPT code 99441, 99442 & 99443 at the same rate of outpatient established office rate for the length of service/time spends with the patient.

For Medicare patients, the provider would continue to bill the telehealth claims with the place of services indicate that the service bill under In-Person visit. And the claims must be billed with modifier 95 to indicate the service is performed in telehealth.

For Medicare adding new HCPCS codes to the list of telehealth services on a category 1, and the HCPCS codes are G0316, G0317, G0318, G3002, and G3003.

We are keeping many services that are temporarily available as telehealth services for the duration of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) on a Category 3 basis through CY 2023 and including the following CPT codes.

The CPT codes are 90875, 90901, 92012, 92014, 92550, 92552, 92553, 92555-92557, 92563, 92567, 92568, 92570, 92587, 92588, 92601, 92625-92627, 94005, 95970, 95983, 95984, 96105, 96110, 96112, 96113, 96127, 96170, 96171, 97129, 97130, 97150-97158, 97530, 97537, 97542, 97763, 98960-98962, 99473, 0362T, and 0373T.

These codes are available up to through December 31, 2023 in Medicare telehealth list.

The Category 3 CPT codes in telehealth services will be covered through 2023 and the Non-facility payment rates for telehealth services will remain the same through 2023 (physician offices are defined by Medicare as “Non-Facility” setting.

So this means telehealth payments will remain the same as in-person through 2023 and the direct supervision may continue to be provided virtually through 2023.

The CMS decided to continue paying for all of the codes on the telehealth list that were scheduled to stop 151 days after the PHE through the end of 2023.

Telehealth Originating site facility fee rate Update

The payment amount for HCPCS code Q3014 (Telehealth originating site facility fee) is 80% of the lesser of the actual charge, or $28.64 for CY 2023 services.

Other than office visit codes, the E/M visits includes following,

Hospital inpatient,
Hospital observation,
Emergency department,
Nursing facility,
Home services,
Residence services, and
Cognitive impairment assessment visits.

For 2023, Medicare adopting the revised CPT codes for Other E/M visits (except for prolonged services)

G0316 for reporting prolonged hospital inpatient or observation services
G0317 for prolonged nursing facility services
G0318 for prolonged home or residence services
G2212, for prolonged office/outpatient services
G3002 - Chronic Pain Management
G3003 - Chronic Pain Management

Place of Service Updates

The place of services code is provided to pay the claims correctly at the same time the health care providers need for the specificity than Medicare for the services rendered. And the Medicare does not always need this greater the specificity to pay the claims.

The following two codes are created to meet the industry standards,

POS 02: Telehealth Provided Other than in Patient’s Home Descriptor

The location where health services and health related services are provided or received, through telecommunication technology.
Patient is not located in their home when receiving health services or health related services through telecommunication technology.

POS 10: Telehealth Provided in Patient’s Home Descriptor

The location where health services and health related services are provided or received through telecommunication technology.
Patient is located in their home (which is a location other than a hospital or other facility where the patient receives care in a private residence) when receiving health services or health related services through telecommunication technology

But the Medicare does not identified a need for new place of service code (POS 10). The MACs will instruct their providers to continue to use the Medicare billing instructions for Telehealth claims in specified under section Pub. 100-04.

Biofeedback Procedures Guidelines

CPT Code History & Guidelines

There are three CPT codes are available,

90901 - Biofeedback training by any modality
90912 - Biofeedback training, perineal muscles, anorectal or urethral sphincter, including EMG and/or manometry, when performed; initial 15 minutes of one-on-one physician or other qualified health care professional contact with the patient
+90913 - Biofeedback training, perineal muscles, anorectal or urethral sphincter, including EMG and/or manometry, when performed; each additional 15 minutes of one-on-one physician or other qualified health care professional contact with the patient (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)

The CPT 90911 was deleted in 2022 and the CPT 90912 & +90913 was added in Jan'2020. The purpose of this codes added,

The provider or other qualified healthcare professional will be trained the patients to control of involuntary bodily functions. There are,

Altering brain activity,
Blood pressure,
Heart rate, and
Other bodily functions that the patient cannot normally control voluntarily.

This service is done for conditions such as fecal or urinary incontinence. EMG and manometry, if performed, are included with this service.

The CPT 90912 can reported for the first 15 minutes of face–to–face service with the patients, and
The CPT 90913 can be reported for each additional 15 minutes of face–to–face biofeedback training with the patient.

Clinical View

The physician uses the equipment that measures and responds to very slight changes in the body, such as changes in temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension, and provides feedback to the patient via lights, sounds, and meters.

And by using this equipment, and other therapeutic methods, the provider guides the patient through practices to alter his bodily functions and learn to control his reactions to help treat his disorders.

In this service, the provider is usually a urologist who first assesses and documents that reasons why the patient is a good candidate for biofeedback.

The provider then uses biofeedback–assisted pelvic muscle education (PME) which may include measurement of muscle contraction through an electromyography (EMG) and vaginal or rectal sensors and/or rectal manometry devices to help the patient become more aware of the pelvic muscles and assist in their movement.

The service may also include other techniques, such as relaxation, to help control involuntary bodily movements.

After completion of the test, the providers will take the printouts from the testing and his/her written interpretation of each of the tests in the patient’s medical record.

Limitation and Frequency

The Biofeedback sessions often have limits of four to six treatments over a four–week period. If it's exceeded as a result, payers will deny claims that exceed the frequency limit unless you can prove that the patient's specific condition requires additional services.

Payer Specific Updates

Some payers still consider biofeedback bladder training to be experimental and investigational services.

BCBS Updates to Billing CPT 99080 & 99499

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services are allowed to submit claims with 12 diagnoses in CMS 1500 form.

However, some of the practice management systems will limit the diagnoses to fewer than 12 diagnoses.

If any practice management system limits the number of diagnoses to fewer than 12 and the supplemental claims can be submitted with E&M Codes with $ 0.01 or $0.00 based on whether the system allows it.

Billing and Coding Guidelines

The simple question is, how to capture all the diagnosis and billed it out to Florida Blue Insurance?.

Submit a second line item with CPT 99080 other than the first 12 diagnoses. Initially, the BCBS accepted only CPT 99080 for additional diagnoses but now, the BCBS insurance will allow to bill CPT 99499 as well for the additional diagnoses.

The BCBS can accept a zero-dollar charge ($0.00), or a penny charge ($0.01) if your system does not allow zero-dollar charges.

If the claim is electronic, use frequency code “0.” This code will deny as incidental to the procedure code submitted on the primary claim and no payment will be applied.

Billing with a penny charge needs no reconciliation on the outstanding balance for providers.

Use at least one clinical diagnoses code from the original claim in first position and all other additional ICD 10 CM codes in position 2 to 12.

The billed all the diagnoses must be documented in the medical record and they should be supported as per the CMS guidelines.

The supplemental claims must be submitted within 180 days from the original E&M services.

If you have a capitated payment arrangement, do not submit date-span claims for office services (Place of Service 11).

The CMS may requires documentation, diagnosis coding, and claims submissions to align to each individual date of service and face-to-face encounter for the review.

Please do not submit a corrected claim Frequency Type 7 or Type 8. A corrected claim Type 7 tells Florida Blue the original claim was wrong, and a Type 8 claim will void or cancel the original claim.

Evaluation and management 2023 updates

Evaluation and Management 2021 Updates

The E&M 2021 changes primarily focused on the documentation and coding guidelines for office and outpatient visits (commonly referred to as E&M codes 99202-99215).

The main goals of these changes were to reduce administrative burden, simplify documentation, and recognize the value of cognitive work performed by healthcare professionals.

Key aspects of the E&M 2021 changes included

The Elimination of history and physical examination requirements as key components for code selection.

The E&M guidelines now allow providers to choose the level of service based on either Medical Decision Making (MDM) or Total time spent on the encounter.

While the documentation of the history and physical examination is still important for patient care, it is not required to determine the appropriate code level but it should be documented in the medical records.

A Revised guidelines for code selection based on medical decision-making (MDM. The MDM now has a greater role in a code selection.

The E&M guidelines provide clear definitions and examples of the components of MDM, such as.,

Number and complexity of problems addressed,
Data reviewed and analyzed, and
Risk of complications or morbidity.

Guidelines for Time Based Code Selection

Expansion of time as a determining factor for code selection. The Providers can now select the code level based on total time spent on the patient encounter, including both face-to-face and non-face-to-face time.

This change benefits providers who spend a significant amount of time on activities like care coordination, reviewing records, and discussing cases with other healthcare professionals.

E&M Updates for 2023

Initially the above said guidelines were introduced to use only for office and outpatient visits and now , effective from Jan 1st 2023, these guidelines will be applicable for across all the level of E&M code selection.

There are some new guidelines Introduced for the specific services,

Golden Rule - Pulse Oximetry with Evaluation & Management

CPT Code Description: -

94760 - Noninvasive ear or pulse oximetry for oxygen saturation; single determination

94761 - Noninvasive ear or pulse oximetry for oxygen saturation; multiple determinations (e.g., during exercise)

The provider and or other qualified healthcare professional takes the oxygen saturation using the a sensor on the ear or finger from the patients.

To perform this service, the doctor places a sensor, such as one in the form of a clip, on the patient’s earlobe or fingertip.

The sensor uses a light shining through the body part to measure the oxygen saturation, detecting the differences in the ways blood cells with and without oxygen reflect light.

The Oxygen saturation, is also called as O2 sat, and the percentage of hemoglobin carrying oxygen molecules.

Guidelines: -

The CPT Codes ranges from 94010 to 94799 include laboratory procedure(s) and interpretation of test results.

If a separate identifiable evaluation and management service is performed on the same day, the appropriate E/M service code can be billed separately. Like,

New or Established Patient Office or Other Outpatient Services (99202 to 99215),
Office or Other Outpatient Consultations (99242 to 99245),
Emergency Department Services (99281 to 99285),
Nursing Facility Services (99304 to 99316),
Home or Residence Services (99341 to 99350),

The mentioned above listed CPT codes may be reported with modifier 25 based on the NCCI edits guidelines in addition to the 94010-94799.

General Information: -

The pulse oximetry codes are not reportable with any other service performed on the same day.

There is no NCCI edits for this CPT codes, but as per the CMS guidelines, the Medicare Physician as categorized into the "T" status code, which means they are only paid if there are no other services payable under the physician fee schedule billed on the same date by the same provider.

Additional Information: -

Pulmonary function tests (94011-94013) are reported for measurements in infants and young children through 2 years of age.

Pulmonary function testing measurements are reported as actual values and as a percent of predicted values by age, gender, height, and race.

Telemedicine Modifier 93 Updates 2022

The modifier 93 (Synchronous Telemedicine Service Rendered Via Telephone or Other Real-Time Interactive Audio-Only Telecommunications System).

Modifier 93 is a new audio-only telemedicine code that is effective on Jan. 1, 2022. Modifier 93 describes services that are provided via telephone or other real-time interactive audio-only telecommunications systems.

This modifier is appropriate only if the real-time interaction occurs between a physician/other qualified health care professional and a patient who is located at a distant site.

When using this modifier 93, the communication during the audio-only service must be of an amount or nature that meets the same key components and/or requirements of face-to-face interaction.
