Modern Healthcare: The CMS on Thursday finalized a rule that will pay doctors for virtual visits and overhaul Medicare billing standards for office visits that haven't changed since the 1990s.
The agency will now pay doctors for telehealth visits and communication with patients, acknowledging the time those efforts take.
The CMS also will change how physicians bill Medicare for patient visits under a relatively generic set of codes that distinguish level of complexity and site of care, known as evaluation and management visit codes.
