Medicaid reimbursement for telehealth varies from state to state. Forty states (in bold font below) reimburse for Telehealth.  Many of these states reimburse for the encounter + a separate CPT code (Q3014 - Originating site facility fee - $17 per session) to pay for technology costs + supervision on the client side.  State Medicaid offices typically allow reimbursement for:

• Office or outpatient visits (CPT codes 99203 - 99205, 99215)
• Individual psychotherapy (CPT codes 90804-90809) Replaced by time-specific codes 90832 (30-minutes) 90834 (45 minutes) 90837 (60 minutes)
