Article Overview
This Medicare Claims Processing Manual section covers claim submission for telehealth services furnished by distant-site practitioners and the separate billing process for originating-site facility fees. It is relevant to physicians, practitioners, billing staff, and coders who work with Medicare telehealth claims, carrier-processed claims, and place-of-service reporting. The article also addresses the general type of telehealth services discussed, the associated billing pathway, and the policy context for the originating site facility fee.
