Providers in A-APMs would strive to control telehealth use like they control utilization, the analysts added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mental health services could be a good candidate for telehealth reimbursement expansions after the pandemic, they suggested, considering historical access issues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Winter, \u201cThe issue is that services delivered via telehealth probably do not have the same practice costs as services provided in a physical office. Therefore, continuing to set rates for telehealth services that are the same as rates for in-office services could distort prices and could lead clinicians to favor telehealth over comparable in-person services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CMS and policymakers also should consider not covering audio-only services allowed during the public health emergency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBecause clinicians are unable to visually examine patients during audio-only visits, it is possible that they will lead to new services instead of substituting for existing ones and, therefore, could increase program spending. Therefore, policymakers might want to consider not covering audio-only services after the PHE, even when provided by clinicians who are in A-APMs,\u201d Winter stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Providers have been calling on CMS to continue telehealth reimbursement parity beyond the public health emergency to support virtual care efforts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Administrator Verma later said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthaffairs.org\/do\/10.1377\/hblog20200715.454789\/full\/\">Health Affairs blog post<\/a> that the agency is assessing telehealth reimbursement rates post-pandemic. But officials have similar concerns as MedPAC \u2013 telehealth visits require different resources than an in-person visit even though new processes and workflows do have associated costs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">About Medical Billers and Coders<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are catering to more than 40 specialties, <strong>Medical Billers and Coders (MBC)<\/strong> is proficient in handling services that range from <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalbillersandcoders.com\/revenue-management-services.aspx\">revenue cycle management<\/a> to ICD-10 testing solutions.
