The COVID-19 pandemic has quickly and radically altered how Otolaryngologists
provide patient care in the outpatient setting. Continuity of care with
established patients as well as establishment of a professional relationship with
new patients is challenging during this Public Health Emergency (PHE). Many
geographic areas are under "stay at home" or "shelter in place" directives from
state and local governments to avoid COVID-19 exposure risks. Medicare has
recently allowed "broad flexibilities to furnish services using remote
communications technology to avoid exposure risks to health care providers,
patients, and the community." [1] The implementation of telemedicine, or virtual,
services, will help the Otolaryngologists provide needed care to patients while
mitigating the clinical and financial impact of the pandemic. The significant
coding and billing issues related to implementing telemedicine services are
discussed to promote acceptance of this technology by the practicing
Otolaryngologist. Of particular importance, outpatient visit Current Procedural
Terminology® codes (99201-99215) may be used for telehealth visits performed in
real-time audio and video.
