Well, you know, the healthcare landscape is changing rapidly, and technology is reshaping the delivery of patient care. I’ve seen the transformational potential of telemedicine as a healthcare provider. Remote consultations are possible thanks to it, which means geographical and time barriers don’t matter anymore. However, this innovation is not without its challenges, namely the need for effective telemedicine billing.
Synergy HCLS — We help folks like you overcome the complexities of telemedicine billing by optimizing your revenue-cycle. Allow me to highlight the transition and its impact on the future of healthcare and the role of partners like us in making a difference.
1. The Rise of Telemedicine: A New Era
Telemedicine has been around for a long time, but it experienced a boom with COVID-19, so we also now know that it is not just useful in a crisis situation.

Synergy HCLS is particularly well suited for this. These complexities are what we solve for, from ensuring claims are processed accurately, to ensuring providers are paid in a timely manner.
2. The Nuts and Bolts of Telemedicine Billing
Telemedicine billing is different than in-office billing. It takes knowing certain codes and modifiers for virtual services. For instance:
- Place of Service (POS) Codes: Indicate where services were performed; EX: 02, telehealth outside the home, and 10, telehealth within the home
- Modifiers: Codes such as GT or 95 indicate the method by which the service was rendered (e.g., interactive video).
- Documentation: It is important that records are properly maintained to ensure ease of reimbursement.
Synergy HCLS takes care of such technicalities, and you can care for your patients.
