New Fact Sheet Details COVID-19 Billing Codes and Coverage Information

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a fact sheet for medical practices on coverage and payments related to COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment. Among other areas, it details coverage of diagnostic tests (including new codes for healthcare providers who need to test patients for coronavirus), inpatient hospital care services and quarantines, telehealth, and more.

You can read the CMS fact sheet here. We’re also happy to share the following chart of codes to use for telehealth visits, virtual check-ins and e-visits. (Chart courtesy of Medical A/R Revenue Solutions, with original credit to CMS.gov.)
