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?
