On the Optima Summit, they discussed billing G2061, G2062 or G2063 telehealth.
Can you please help clarify appropriate use of these codes?
Thank you,

Good Morning
I have been on UHC website and I am not clear if this then means that they will or will not cover telehealth for those that bill on a 1500(there is notation about requiring the POS 02 on the UB04). Also the State of NH passed a law that telehealth will remain as it has for current providers and current reimbursement. Would that then allow for those in hospital based OP clinics billing on the 1500 be able to still provide and be reimbursed?
Thank you

Regarding any specific questions regarding state mandates and what that means to an insurance carrier in your state would need to be addressed to your state and/or state therapy association.
