Abstract

The sheer volume of telehealth codes reimbursed continues to grow, as all payers (federal, state, and private) approve and incorporate new policies and codes. Despite additional codes and friendlier policies, organizations seeking to be paid for telehealth still struggle with interpreting and utilizing automated processes to maximize telehealth revenue. Key challenge areas for telehealth billing and reimbursement include, but are not limited to, compliance, regulation, documentation, and data management
