Action Required
Immediately: Dental billing teams must update systems to allow CDT code D0140 with place of service 02 for telemedicine evaluations. For telephone-only services, add 'services provided via telephone' in claim remarks section. Ensure all telemedicine encounters include date, time, duration, and clinical documentation per CDT requirements.
