NOTE: If you are unsure of Payor requirements in regards to Telemed you may need to contact that specific payor and ask for guidelines. Different Payors may have varying requirements.
- Telemed uses a GT modifier attached to regular billing code and a place of service listed as 2 for Telehealth. To add this, we need to go to the fee schedule.
