Q3014 - Fee charged by a healthcare facility for providing the location and equipment for a telehealth appointment
Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System
What is a HCPCS Code?
HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) codes are used to identify medical procedures, supplies, and services for billing purposes. These codes help standardize how healthcare services are reported and billed across different providers and insurance companies.
Detailed Description
This code represents the facility fee charged when a healthcare facility serves as the originating site for a telehealth visit. The originating site is where you, as the patient, are physically located during the telehealth appointment. This facility provides the necessary equipment, internet connection, and space for you to connect with a healthcare provider who may be located elsewhere. The fee covers the facility's costs for maintaining telehealth technology and providing technical support during your remote consultation.
Additional Information
This is an administrative fee for facility services, not for the actual medical care provided during the telehealth visit. The medical consultation itself would be billed separately by the healthcare provider.
