Guidelines for compliant E/M billing for asynchronous wound photo reviews

✓ Appropriate Use

Asynchronous telehealth wound photo reviews qualify for E/M billing when:

  • Clinical decision-making is documented for each review
  • Medical necessity is established (e.g., monitoring wound progression, adjusting treatment)
  • Documentation supports the level of service billed
  • Reviews are separate from CCM or other bundled services
  • Patient has provided consent for telehealth services

📋 Documentation Requirements

Required Elements (Auto-generated by Platform):

  • Date and time of service
  • Patient identification and demographics
  • Chief complaint / reason for review
  • Clinical assessment of wound status
  • Medical decision-making rationale
  • Plan of care / treatment adjustments
  • Provider credentials and NPI

⚠️ Billing Restrictions

No duplicate billing: Maximum 1 E/M per patient per provider per day (platform enforces automatically)
Credential requirements: RNs cannot bill E/M codes. MD/DO/NP/PA only (platform validates)
Modifier usage: No modifier 95 for asynchronous reviews (removed from platform)
CCM conflicts: If billing CCM for same patient in same month, ensure separate documentation

💰 CPT Code Selection Guide

CPT Code Description Typical Scenario Rate
99213 Straightforward MDM Wound improving, stable treatment plan $92
99214 Moderate Complexity MDM Wound showing concern, treatment adjustment needed $130
99215 High Complexity MDM Urgent wound deterioration, immediate intervention required $180

Note: Rates shown are Medicare 2024 national average. Actual reimbursement varies by payer and locality. Platform adjusts for NP/PA at 85% rate automatically.
