Medicare Telehealth Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Question: How does a qualified provider bill for telehealth services?


Answer: Medicare telehealth services are generally billed as if the service had been furnished in-person. For Medicare telehealth services, the claim should reflect the designated Place of Service (POS) code 02-Telehealth, to
