New telehealth place of service codes for 2022
Answered
Hello wondering if anyone has insight into this chart from CMS.gov which indicates place of location code changes as of Jan 1, 2022
https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/place-of-service-codes/Place_of_Service_Code_Set
It appears that 02 is now reserved for telehealth services when client is not in their home, and code 10 is going to be for telehealth services when they are in their home. At the moment Simple Practice only offers code 02 as a place of service for all telehealth sessions. I assume this will be changing in the new year? Anyone know if "outside" of their home has any specifics, or is it anytime client is not in a private residence? Thanks!

Hello, I see that the change has been made as far as adding the additional options where you can "edit" your selection for telehealth and what they stand for. Will there be the option to add location to telehealth (as is the case with Office space) to have both codes available-02 and 10? I imagine we will need to access both.

Hi everyone,
Since this new Place of Service code won’t go into effect until the start of next year, we plan to address this change closer to that time. I recommend using the Place of Service code 02 until then. To update the Insurance Place of Service code:
-
Navigate to Settings > My Practice > Locations
-
Click Edit next to an existing location or Add a Location
-
Use the dropdown menu to update the Insurance Place of Service
You can find more information on this process here Editing the Insurance Place of Service.
If file claims, we are releasing a new claim form to accommodate the new insurance place of service. If you would like this enabled early, you can submit a Help Request so that our Customer Success team can handle this.
