Telephone Charges

We are now billing for telephone charges to our patients with 99441, 99442 and 99443. My question is, will Medicare reimburse for these codes this year?

No Medicare will not pay on these codes RIGHT now,but they might in the future. Cigna and Aetna both are paying for these codes as well as a few other insureds. Here is a good article from last year you might find helpful.

Along the same lines Telemedicine is a hot topic right now and if you do a Google search you will come up with quite a few interesting articles.

I found the same thing, not reimbursable by Medicare right now. Linda is right, telemedicine is a hot topic, along with audiovisual healthcare.
