  1. Hello! I have a question about providing outpatient telehealth PT services after the PHE is no longer extended. Because this is a never-covered service, based on what I read above we would affix the GX or GY modifier to each CPT code and submit to Medicare, get denied, and then receive cash payment up front or after the fact? We can collect before the visit, correct?

    Given that we know that this is never-covered (after the PHE is over) are we required to submit this to Medicare, or could we document and bill entirely as a “self pay” service after discharging? Are we also still held accountable to progress note and POC requirements because they are a Medicare beneficiary, even though it’s a never covered service?
