G0320: home health services furnished using synchronous telemedicine rendered via a real-time two-way audio and video telecommunications system.

• Short Descriptor: G0320: two-way audio and video HHS

G0321: home health services furnished using synchronous telemedicine rendered via telephone or other real-time interactive audio-only telecommunications system.

• Short Descriptor: G0321: audio-only HHS

G0322: the collection of physiologic data digitally stored and/or transmitted by the patient to the home health agency (i.e., remote patient monitoring).

• Report remote patient monitoring that spans a number of days as a single line item showing the start date of monitoring and the total number of days of monitoring in the units field for the billing period
