Just received a document stating CMS Un-Bundles CPT Code 99091 To Help Drive Healthcare Provider Reimbursement for Telemedicine.

What all does this in-tell? Does it have to be 30 minutes at one given time? Does the patient have to be notified electronically? Any information you may have would be most appreciated.

Ex: We have patients that email pictures to us on occasion, and they are reviewed by our physicians. A return phone call is made to the patient with instructions or advising the patient to come in for a consult. Would this suffice for reimbursement?

Also, do you know of any commercial carriers that are reimbursing 99091, or just Medicare?
