Summary
Connecticut Medicaid (CMAP) has updated its COVID-19 telemedicine and telephonic services FAQ guidance as of June 30, 2023. The policy clarifies billing requirements including using POS 02 for telemedicine encounters, maintaining both provider-specific modifiers and telemedicine modifiers for behavioral health claims, and allows verbal consent instead of written consent for telemedicine services during the emergency period.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must ensure Connecticut Medicaid claims use POS 02 for all telemedicine encounters. For behavioral health providers, continue using both existing provider-specific modifiers (AJ for clinical social workers, HO for LMFTs/LPCs/LADCs) AND telemedicine modifiers on the same claim. Update documentation procedures to record verbal consent for telemedicine services in medical records instead of requiring written consent. Review APPENDIX 1 for complete list of eligible telemedicine procedure codes.
