Billing Reminder: Professional Telehealth Services During an AHCAH Stay
Medicare treats Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) patients as hospital inpatients (even when care is delivered through telehealth at home).
If you bill professional telehealth services furnished during an AHCAH stay, report the correct Place of Service (POS) code:
- POS 21 (inpatient hospital)
- Modifier 95 (synchronous telemedicine)
