INDIANA REIMBURSES FOR TELEPSYCHIATRY + A SEPARATE FACILITY FEE (Q3014)

INDIANA REIMBURSES FOR TELEPSYCHIATRY + A SEPARATE FACILITY FEE (Q3014)

This means that for each telehealth session completed, you can collect an additional fee to cover your technology expenes.  This will pay for our service in just a few sessions and the rest is added revenue for your organization.

There are some conditions of payment outlined below:

1. The IHCP reimburses for telemedicine services only when the hub and spoke sites are greater than 20 miles apart.

2. The member must be present and able to participate in the visit.

3. For a medical professional to receive reimbursement for professional services in addition to payment for spoke services, medical necessity must be documented. If it is medically necessary for a medical professional to be with the member at the spoke site, the spoke site is permitted to bill an evaluation and management code in addition to the fee for spoke services. Adequate documentation must be maintained in the patient’s medical record to support the need for the provider’s presence at the spoke site during the visit. Documentation is subject to postpayment review.

4. The audio and visual quality of the transmission must meet the needs of the physician located at the hub site. The IATV technology must meet generally accepted standards to allow the physician at the hub site to render medical decisions.
