You know that CMS will not reimburse the new CPT telehealth codes (98000-98015). However, commercial plans are picking them up.
 
Fallout from the Change Healthcare hack continues. 
 
Just days before it was to take effect, Cigna announced it would “delay implementation” of a strict new policy for E/M services billed with modifier 25 (Significant, separately identifiable E/M service by the same physician on the same date as a procedure).
 
 
Cigna’s plan for unbundled office visits is likely to increase your paperwork and and slow reimbursement.
 
 
As private payers continue to cut coverage for office consults and more coding changes approach, we can't help but wonder if practices should give up on this set of E/M codes.
Mother of mercy, is this the end of consults?
