Wiki Phone calls

[KaylaRieken]

When billing time for actual audio and video telehealth right now they expanded the time component to include all time spent when providing the service throughout the date of the encounter which includes preparation time and follow-up time in reviewing documents such as imaging/records. Would this be the same as a telephone call?

Does this include the nurse time getting the history on the phone call before physician does his portion?

No, this is only provider time per CMS>
