    Wiki Psychotherapy codes w/new Telemedicine Synchronous Audio-Video E/M codes for 2025

    You may need to keep using the codes you used in 2024. CMS is not recognizing the new telemedicine codes 98000-98015 for medicare so many commercial plans, like BCBSIL are following suit and still reimbursing for 99214-93 with POS 02/10.

    Wiki Psychotherapy codes w/new Telemedicine Synchronous Audio-Video E/M codes for 2025

    I attended the Behavioral Health and Psychiatry webinar today. No new information on the telemedicine codes 98000-98015 was discussed during the webinar, only briefly answered in the Q&A section. Not that helpful really. But all that is to say there is currently NO GUIDANCE to use the...

    Wiki BHI audio only medicare

    Medicare is NOT using the new audio-visual codes (98000-98007) E/M for now, so the original 99202-99215 plus modifiers 93 or 95 would still apply, supposedly.

    Wiki Psychotherapy codes w/new Telemedicine Synchronous Audio-Video E/M codes for 2025

    Just an update as with my other response. Our practice decided to stop using the new audio-visual E/M codes (98000-98007) completely as our scrubbing tool (Relay Exchange) wasn't recongzing them either and saying we needed to still add the 95 modifier, which is ALSO incorrect as the CPT book...

    Wiki Psychotherapy codes w/new Telemedicine Synchronous Audio-Video E/M codes for 2025

    I'm at a loss as well and still waiting for my first claims of 2025 to process. In 2024 for BCBSIL we would code POS: 10, 99214-95, 90833-95 based on time for telemedicine (30 minutes). However the new telemedicine audio-visual E/M code 98006 cannot be linked with the psychotherapy add-on code...

    Wiki Psychotherapy codes w/new Telemedicine Synchronous Audio-Video E/M codes for 2025

    What codes did you use in 2024 for the BH and Nutrition encounters? Did you use the E/M codes 99202-99215? The new codes for telemedicine (98000-98007) replace 99202-99215 when the encounter was completed by video telemedicine. So if you coded 99213 plus an add on BH/Nutrition code in 2024 I...

    Wiki Telehealth visits and modifier for 2025

    I also am not sure what to do in our cases for Mental health for our Psychiatry practice which use medication management and psychotherapy. In 2024 we would code 99214-95, 90833-95, but the new 98006 code doesn't work with 90833, so insteadIi think we need to code with the 25 modifier on the...

    Wiki Psychotherapy codes w/new Telemedicine Synchronous Audio-Video E/M codes for 2025

    I agree with you, and I came to the same conclusion that if commercial payers are using the new Telemedicine E/M codes, but the CPT code list didn't add the Psychotherapy add on codes for E/M then the only option is to use the stand alone therapy code with the 98007. I will try submitting claims...

    Wiki Telehealth 2025 Final Rule

    I was only able to see new telemedicine codes 98000-98016 starting on 1/1/25 using availity for our commercial payer BCBIL. However i have not had any of our claims with this new codes processed yet so I'm not sure if they are ACTUALLY active yet or wont start being accepted until 4/1/25?

    Wiki Telehealth 2025 Final Rule

    I have the exact same question. We are commercial only and BCBSIL does show the new Telemedicine E/M codes in their fee schedule in Availity but I only just submitted a few claims so far and haven't received any feedback yet. So i am also wondering if the telemedicine E/M codes wont technically...

    Wiki FQ MODIFIER

    99441, 99442, 99443 have been deleted for 2025 as there are new telemedicine codes effective 1/1/25 for both audio-visual (telemedicine) and audio-only (phone call) codes. 98008-98015 at the audio only E/M codes to use for phone calls now and they DO NOT require 95 or 93 modifiers as they are...

    Wiki Psychotherapy codes w/new Telemedicine Synchronous Audio-Video E/M codes for 2025

    In 2024 and previously at our psychiatric office for medication management and therapy, our providers, all MDs and NPs, would code a typical 30 minute visit as 99214, 90833 for an E/M with the psychotherapy add on. Whenever this was completed by a video we would also add the telemedicine 95...

    Wiki medication management provided to guardian

    We use code 90846 when a provider meets with a family member/partner etc. to discuss the patient's care and the patient was not included in the meeting. It's a stand alone code and can be in person or teleheath and has to be at least 27 minutes in length so make sure the notes are documented

    Wiki Phone call visit

    My provider is also asking to use CPT 99214 with 93 modifier, but I explained if it's by phone call only and not with video included (like modifier 95) according to CPT 2023 we cannot billing 99214-93 and would instead bill 99443-93. However I know the rate of reimbursement is lower for the...
