Our company is trying to distinguish what are the or are there even parameters to the meaning of "interactive communication with the patient/caregiver." Particularly for codes:
Would a PTA need to be directly supervised by a PT while performing the monitoring?
When RTM is billed, what is the place of service? Would it be office even though it is a "remote" service?
- CPT code 989X4 — Remote therapeutic monitoring treatment management services, physician/ other qualified health care professional time in a calendar month requiring at least one interactive communication with the patient/caregiver during the calendar month; first 20 minutes)
- CPT code 989X5 — Remote therapeutic monitoring treatment management services, physician/other qualified health care professional time in a calendar month requiring at least one interactive communication with the patient/caregiver during the calendar month; each additional 20 minutes (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)
