Telemedicine Billing: Navigating the New Normal
The Rise of Telemedicine
Telemedicine has become a permanent fixture in healthcare delivery, with over 60% of practices now offering virtual visits. However, billing for these services requires careful attention to coding and compliance requirements.
Telemedicine Billing Basics
Understanding Telehealth Modifiers
Proper use of modifiers is crucial for telemedicine billing. Common modifiers include:
- GT: Interactive audio and video telecommunications
- GQ: Asynchronous telecommunications

Coding Requirements
Ensure you're using the correct place of service (POS) codes. POS 02 indicates services provided via telemedicine, which is essential for proper reimbursement.
Common Billing Challenges
Many practices struggle with:
- Understanding payer-specific requirements
- Documentation requirements for virtual visits
- Technology platform compliance
- State-specific regulations
Best Practices
Stay updated with payer policies, maintain detailed documentation, and invest in compliant telemedicine platforms. Regular training for billing staff is essential to ensure accurate coding and billing.
Conclusion
Telemedicine billing doesn't have to be complicated. With proper training, the right technology, and attention to detail, you can successfully bill for virtual visits and maximize reimbursement.
