Telemedicine/Telehealth Articles and Resources
According to the Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP), "States alternate between using the term “telemedicine” or “telehealth”. In some states both terms are explicitly defined in law and/or policy and regulations. In some cases, “telehealth” is used to reflect a broader definition, while “telemedicine” is used mainly to define the delivery of medical services."
Regardless of which definition you prefer, this field has experienced nearly exponential growth over the last several years.
News and Important Information
Even if a code is identified as a telemedicine service by either the CPT codebook (Appendix P), or on the Medicare telehealth list, that doesn't mean that another service might be able to be rendered via telehealth. Much of that depends on individual payer policies.***Also, be sure you are aware of individual state laws regarding these services.
