Vermont Reimbursement for Telehealth

Health insurance plans must provide coverage for health care service delivered through telemedicine by a health care provider at a distant site to a patient at an originating site to the same extent that the plan would cover the services if they were provided through in-person consultation.

An originating site is the location of the patient, whether or not accompanied by a health care provider, at the time services are provided by a health care provider through telemedicine, including a health care provider’s office, a hospital, or a health care facility, or the patient’s home or another nonmedical environment such as a school-based health center, a university-based health center or patient’s workplace.

A distant site is the location of the health care provider delivering services through telemedicine at the time the services are provided.

Live video is reimbursed for clinically appropriate services delivered through telemedicine outside a health care facility or from facility to facility.

Facilities providing live telemedicine services are required to use the GT modifier.
