Summary
Connecticut Medicaid temporarily expanded telemedicine coverage for home health services during COVID-19, allowing nursing services, PT/OT/SLP therapy services, and re-certifications to be performed via telemedicine with specific billing requirements and modifiers.
Action Required
Home health agencies must: 1) Document case-by-case reasoning for telemedicine visits in patient records, 2) Bill telemedicine services with modifier 'GT' (facility/office location) or '95' (home location), 3) Use Place of Service code '02' for telemedicine services, 4) Obtain and document verbal informed consent before providing telemedicine services, 5) Submit claims through DXC provider portal instead of Santrax for nursing and speech pathology services during temporary period.
