Is G0514 covered for telehealth? (Medicare)
G0514 (Prolong prev svcs, addl 30m) appears on Medicare's list of covered telehealth services. Being on this list means Medicare will consider payment for this service when furnished via telehealth, subject to the standard billing requirements below. This is an add-on code, so it must be billed alongside its associated primary service.
How to bill it
Report G0514 with place of service 02 or 10, depending on where the patient is located during the visit, and attach modifier 95 to indicate the service was furnished via telehealth. As with any add-on code, confirm the primary service it's attached to is itself billed correctly and is telehealth-eligible. POS reference → · modifier reference →
Audio-only
Medicare's list of telehealth services doesn't specify audio-only eligibility for this code. Audio-only is permitted for a number of services (notably behavioral and mental-health care); confirm against current CMS guidance and your payer before billing audio-only.
