Summary
Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) has expanded telemedicine coverage during COVID-19, allowing evaluation and management codes, therapy services, and well-child visits via telemedicine. Providers must use GT modifier and document services appropriately, with specific guidance for pediatric visits based on age.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must update system to allow telemedicine billing with GT modifier for evaluation and management codes, therapy services (PT/OT/ST), and well-child visits. Update encounter forms to include place of service based on patient location. Providers must document all telemedicine services in patient medical files. For well-child visits via telemedicine (children 24+ months), schedule follow-up visits within 6 months after public health emergency ends for incomplete components.
