CPT Codes for Mental Health Video chatting and phone/text sessions

<< < (2/3) > >>

Michele:
Psychbiller is right, it is a timed code, however just to clarify - it cannot be used for phone therapy.  Face to face can be telemedicine.  The video part makes it face to face.  Not in person but still must be able to see each other, not just hear.

Christy:
does anyone know if GT is still required for telemedicine psychotherapy visits?  I am hearing we just need POS 2 and no modifier for 2019?

thanks!! :)

Michele:
I am not currently billing any telemedicine however it appears that the GT modifier is not needed.

Christy:
thank you! :)

PsychBiller:
I bill for telemedicine daily, and still use the GT modifier on all claims.  I had too many denials when I removed the modifier, and have not had any claims deny for continuing to use it.

Also, the POS 02 is another grey area.  Currently of all the insurance companies that I bill, only 2 of them (Medicare and Amerigroup) will accept telemedicine claims with the POS 02.  Other insurances do not recognize it as a POS code at all!!
