The Process of Telehealth Billing Telehealth
billing refers to the process of filing and
tracking claims for virtual services under health
care applications, such as online consultation,
remote patient monitoring, and digital therapy
sessions. Appropriate coding and thorough
documentation are considered the best approaches
toward reimbursement maximization. Why
Telehealth Billing is Very Complicated? Unlike
other types of medical encounters, telehealth
services require unique CPT codes, Place of
service (POS) codes, and modifiers. The payer
policies are also different, and inconsistency
and errors will always be found in billing.
