Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Virtual communications are not considered telehealth

  • These HCPCS codes were developed by CMS for virtual communication
  • They are not on CMS’s list of telehealth services and do not use real-time, interactive, audio/visual communication
  • They do require verbal consent; a single consent can be obtained for all communications based technology services annually

CMS said it doesn’t consider these to be telehealth services, although they are “technology-based.”
