the evaluation management services.

We're seeing those patients, whether they're doing it through audio video or audio only, they are providing those services, but they're using that opportunity to provide telehelp instead of bringing the patient back into the office all the time.

All of these services that can be permitted to be performed through telehealth that we can do as part of all of the care management services, I think folks forget that you need to look at that list.

There is a list, and they did a great job, I think, from a CMS perspective.

of providing us with a list of all of the codes and then whether or not those services can be performed through audio video only or could they also be promoted pro performed through audio as well.

Just double checking those at at the beginning of every year and sometimes throughout the year because there's changes that won't be now through next year, but it's always great to refer to that list, double check that the codes that you're using are on that list and permitted for you to be able to provide this way.

So a lot of these services like the RPM.

That is not the intention of the service that you're putting a modifier that this was telehealth.

You're transmitting the data, you're reviewing the data.

But when the physician is contacting the patient to go over that information when using a specific code, you want to ensure that the documentation is clear about.

What is the modality?

Was this audio video where you were speaking to the patient and going over all these results and giving them that advice?

And then of course what was discussed with the patient.

But

I think folks get a little lax in this world and uh as it relates to these particular codes, thinking that they don't have to kind of check all the boxes.

Everybody's worried about evaluation and management.

But these services are under scrutiny as well.

In fact, obviously, based on OIG, anytime OIG looks at something.

It kind of sets the stage for everybody else reviewing them as well from an audit perspective.
