ASGE Answers Your Coding Questions

ASGE members may submit coding inquiries electronically to codingquestions@asge.org. When submitting a question, please allow at least three business days for a response. When submitting inquiries, please include the ASGE member’s name and ID number. Only questions will be accepted and not reports. Below is our featured Coding Question of the Month that could be beneficial to your practice.

Question:

We are reviewing the new 2025 telehealth codes (CPT 98000-98016). Will Medicare cover these codes?

Answer:

Medicare will only recognize one of these codes, CPT 98016, which is a brief communication (virtual check-in) service. They feel the other codes are redundant and mimic the in-person evaluation and management services (99202-99215). For now, and until we get further information from Medicare, we recommend you report any audio/video visits using the in-person E&M codes with the appropriate place of service codes (either 02 or 10) with modifier 95, and any audio-only visit codes using the in-person E&M codes with modifier 93.
