Does anyone know if MA is going to cover telemedicine?  When I try to validate a claim on MN-Its using the 02 POS and GT modifier I get a denial. 

Does anyone know if Hennepin Health requires a modifier (GT or 95) for telemedicine claims? 

Good morning. 

As we bill telemedicine mental health and substance use disorder services for the foreseeable future, we have a question:

Because of the added complexity of the technology, is it appropriate to use the add-on code 90785?

Interactive complexity refers to factors that complicate the delivery of a mental health procedure, as defined:

You should use this CPT code when one or more of the following is present in a session:

• When delivery of care is complicated due managing maladaptive communication among involved parties.
  • Examples of maladaptive communication include:
    • high anxiety
    • high reactivity
    • repeated questioning or disagreement
• In a case where the implementation treatment plan is hindered due to caregiver emotions or behaviors.
• When a discussion of a sentinel event and/or mandated report to a third party is initiated with the patient and any other participants.
  • Child Services/Elder Abuse Services etc.
• When patients require equipment, devices, interpreters, or translators to work around impediments to diagnostic or therapeutic interaction with a patient.
  • Patients who require this include:
    • patients who are not fluent in the same language as the provider
    • patients who have not developed receptive language skills and are unable to understand typical language
    • patients who have lost receptive language skills and are unable to understand typical language.

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kim
