GETTING STARTED
Who can be a telepsychiatrist for my clinic?
Psychiatrists & APRNs: Any psychiatrist (MD/DO) or Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with a state license in Arkansas can provide care via telepsychiatry.
How does reimbursement work for telepsychiatry in Arkansas?
Each telepsychiatry session generates two billable codes:
- The standard CPT codes for outpatient, psychiatric services.
- An originating site facility fee (Q3014) that allows clinics to receive reimbursement for the use of the facility where telehealth services are rendered.

Medicare & Medicaid
In addition to covering provider services at the same rate as in-person services, Medicaid pays $2.54 and Medicare pays $27.02 per session as an originating site facility fee (Q3014) to cover onsite administrative costs in Arkansas.

RHCs
RHC's are reimbursed the encounter rate; the reimbursement rate is the same whether provided in person or via telemedicine.
What tech does my clinic need?

Setting up telepsychiatry at your clinic is simple. The set up will require:
- A two-way video telecommunication system that allows for real-time communication between the provider and patient
- HIPAA-compliant video conferencing technology
UTILIZATION & PROGRAM SUSTAINABILITY
Utilization is the percentage of a telepsychiatrist’s time that is spent on reimbursable patient care. Tracking this number helps clinics understand the financial sustainability of telepsychiatry for their organization.
