Summary
Michigan's Maternal Infant Health Program now allows up to 40% of professional visits to be conducted via telehealth starting May 12, 2023. Telehealth visits must use modifier 95 and appropriate place of service codes, while telephone-only visits require modifier 93 and documented justification.
Action Required
By May 12, 2023: Billing team must update system to append modifier 95 for all MIHP telehealth visits using dual audiovisual platforms and modifier 93 for telephone-only visits. Ensure place of service codes match where beneficiary would normally be seen. Providers must document telehealth consent and justification for telephone-only visits in beneficiary charts. Track agency-wide telehealth usage to ensure it doesn't exceed 40% of total professional visits.
