Starting in 2018 CMS decides to eliminate requirement to use the GT modifier on telehealth claims.
Providers have been required by Medicare to add special modifiers, primarily GT and GQ, to their CPT and HCPCS codes for more than a decade when it came to telehealth services billing. Things changed at the start of 2018 and now instead of using the GT modifier, telehealth services claims must be noted with “Place of Service 02.” This white paper discusses why careful coding matters; reviews that GT and GQ modifiers are gone, but not completely; and examines that the government is paying attention to the growth of telehealth.
