Why Telehealth Billing Matters for Your Practice
Telehealth billing is one of the most complex billing scenarios in 2024 — and it's changing constantly. Every payer has different rules: different place-of-service codes, different modifier requirements, different coverage policies for different visit types.

Sound Familiar? These Mistakes Are Costing You Revenue
Most practices silently lose 15–30% of collectible revenue to these avoidable problems.
Wrong Place-of-Service Code
Telehealth visits billed with POS 02 vs POS 10 vs POS 11 — payers reimburse differently for each. Using the wrong POS means automatic denial or underpayment.
Missing or Incorrect Modifiers
GT modifier, 95 modifier, or neither — payer-specific modifier requirements change frequently. Wrong modifier = denial.
Audio-Only vs. Audio-Visual Confusion
Audio-only telehealth has different coverage rules than audio-visual. Many payers don't cover audio-only at all, or only cover it for certain conditions.
State-Specific Parity Laws Not Applied
Telehealth parity laws vary by state. In states with strong parity laws, practices are leaving money on the table by not billing telehealth at full in-person rates.

Telehealth Billing FAQ
It depends on the payer and the clinical scenario. POS 02 (telehealth provided other than in patient's home), POS 10 (telehealth in patient's home), or POS 11 (office) for certain payers that reimburse telehealth at in-person rates. We apply the correct POS per payer policy.
Yes. Behavioral health telehealth (psychiatry, therapy, counseling) has different coverage rules than medical telehealth — often more favorable. Specifically, Medicare covers behavioral health telehealth without originating site restrictions, which allows for much higher billing rates. We maximize this.
Audio-only telehealth coverage varies widely by payer. Medicare covers audio-only for certain behavioral health services. Many commercial payers have expanded audio-only coverage permanently post-COVID. We verify coverage for each visit type before billing.
We have a dedicated policy team that monitors CMS telehealth announcements, commercial payer telehealth policy bulletins, and state Medicaid updates weekly. Your billing protocols are updated automatically when policies change.
