Is G2211 covered for telehealth? (Medicare)
G2211 appears on Medicare's telehealth services list, meaning it may be reported when the associated visit is furnished via telehealth under Medicare's rules. As an add-on code, it must accompany an eligible primary E/M service and follows that service's telehealth eligibility.
How to bill it
For Medicare, report G2211 with place of service 02 or 10, selecting whichever POS reflects where the patient is located during the encounter. Append modifier 95 to indicate the service was furnished via synchronous telehealth technology. 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.
Frequently asked
What's the difference between POS 02 and POS 10 for G2211?
POS 02 indicates the patient received telehealth services from a location other than their home, while POS 10 indicates the patient was at home. Use the code that matches the patient's actual location at the time of service.
Does commercial or Medicaid coverage match Medicare for G2211?
No. This reference reflects Medicare telehealth policy only. Commercial payers and state Medicaid programs may have different coverage, POS, or modifier requirements, so always verify with the specific payer.
Can G2211 be billed alone via telehealth?
No, it's an add-on code and must be billed with an eligible primary E/M visit; its telehealth eligibility depends on that primary service also being furnished via telehealth.
