List of Medicare Telehealth Services
The 2009 Healthcare Procedural Coding System (HCPCS) update added several new CPT procedure codes related to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) services and deleted the related G-codes, effective for dates of service on or after January 1, 2009. A number of these ESRD-related services are on the list of approved telehealth services. The list of approved telehealth services must be updated to reflect the deletion of the G-codes and the addition of the CPT codes. Therefore, CMS is updating the list of Medicare Telehealth Services to reflect the coding changes for ESRD-related services that took effect during the 2009 HCPCS update. The established policy for telehealth services has not changed.
