I keep seeing posts about providers adding a lot of telemedicine, especially during this outbreak. Can someone please explain the reimbursement to justify this? From what I’ve seen, the 99441-99444 codes reimburse anywhere from 12-30.00, the 99444 requiring more than 30 min of provider time. How are you able to keep your doors open with these types of visits seeing as that’s about 1/5 of face to face E/M codes. Am I missing something?
Thanks
