How to bill during the PHE when doctor calls patient with MRI results

Article Overview

This Find-A-Code article addresses how a practice may handle billing when a surgeon or other physician reviews MRI results with a patient remotely during the public health emergency. It is aimed at medical coders, billers, and physician practices that need general guidance on telehealth documentation, visit modality, and place-of-service reporting under temporary pandemic-era policies. The article also notes that the guidance is tied to CMS and HHS public health emergency policy changes and is relevant to those monitoring how telehealth coverage may change when emergency rules end.
