  3. TELEHEALTH BILLING – WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW EXACTLY? What procedure does telehealth billing follow according to new rules imposed by CMS? For initiating reimbursement of telehealth services, an interactive audio and video telecommunications system that enables communication between the service provider and the beneficiary should be in real-time. There is a change in the category of services due to the pandemic outbreak, which needs to be followed properly before claims submission/reimbursements. It may not completely change to the existing telehealth billing rules, yet there are notable changes as well. Earlier to COVID-19, telehealth was considered as a benefit of coverage only if the originating site was outside the country of a Metropolitan Statistical Area, but now there is more liberalness to many medical practices, health centres, individual practitioners, etc. http://www.247medicalbillingservices.com; Tel: + 1 -888-502-0537
