Updated place of service code requirements for telehealth billing

To align with Department of Medical Assistance Services requirements, we are updating our claims processing system. All telehealth claims billed with a date of service on or after November 1, 2024, must use place of service codes (POS) 02 or 10 only.

This update will retroactively allow POS code 02 back to May 13, 2024. Claims using POS 02 may continue to be denied until November 1, 2024, but will be reprocessed after this update is complete.

State guidance on telehealth services can be found here.

Place of service code(s) Place of service name
02 Telehealth Provided Other than in Patient’s Home
10 Telehealth Provided in Patient’s Home
