Summary
Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi has updated their telehealth coding policy, establishing comprehensive guidelines for billing real-time telemedicine, store-and-forward services, and remote patient monitoring. The policy specifies required modifiers (95, GT, FR, FQ, GQ, 93, G0), place of service codes (02 for telehealth, 10 for patient home), and procedure codes including Q3014 for originating site facility fees.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must update billing software to require appropriate telehealth modifiers (95, GT, FR for synchronous services; FQ, GQ, 93 for asynchronous services) when billing telehealth services. Configure system to use POS code 02 for distant site providers and POS code 10 for patient home services. Ensure originating sites bill Q3014 instead of E/M codes for telehealth setup. Train staff on proper modifier selection based on technology type used. Update encounter forms to include telehealth service indicators.
