Date: November 7, 2023
Attention: Rural Health Clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers
Effective date: November 1, 2023
Call to action: The purpose of this communication is to provide guidance on the implementation of a new telehealth patient site facility fee benefit for federally qualified health center (FQHC) and rural health clinic (RHC) providers.
How this impacts providers: Effective for dates of service on or after November 1, 2023, FQHC and RHC providers performing patient-site telehealth services may be reimbursed for the facility fee (procedure code Q3014) as an add-on procedure code.
Procedure code Q3014 will be a benefit for FQHC and RHC providers when telehealth services are rendered in the office or outpatient hospital setting.
Additional information:
Next step for Providers: Providers are not required to appeal the claims unless they are denied for additional reasons after the claims reprocessing is complete. Providers may bill TCHP retroactively for procedure code Q3014.
