Coding and billing telehealth

The COVID-19 virus has transformed the healthcare industry, utilizing telehealth more than ever before. Due to the increasing demand for telehealth, you have been tasked with creating a tip sheet for the providers in your clinic. The purpose of this tip sheet is to give the providers the critical information they need for coding and billing telehealth visits without overwhelming them or impacting patient care.

Specifically, on your tip sheet, you should:

• Provide an explanation of telehealth and its associated applications.
• Review privacy requirements when conducting telehealth sessions. Provide 2 requirements and give a brief detail of each.
• Provide 3 examples of documentation needed for a telehealth visit.
