Q: EVV: Using Modifier 76 For Another Service on the Same Day

When submitting the same HCPCS/CPT code on the same day of service for a second EVV visit, you must add Modifier 76 to the second visit. Modifier 76 is widely used to indicate that another procedure or service was performed after the original procedure or service. Remember each line of billing can have up to four modifiers if there is a need to add another modifier.

Q: COVID-19 Telehealth Billing

New flexibilities have been granted by CMS and on a state-by-state basis to allow for Telehealth Billing during COVID-19 to reduce face to face interaction. One of the new flexibilities is to allow the use of audio only for telehealth as opposed to audio and video. For CENTIPEDE providers billing for Telehealth during COVID-19 its important to use the Place of Service Code 02. POS 02 indicates that services were provided through a telehealth platform. Remember to bill only those codes that are appropriate for your specialty or for which you have been granted SPECIAL flexibility.
