Abstract
Prior to the public health emergency (PHE), there were efforts to advance telemedicine. The hurdles posed by reimbursement were one of the elements limiting its expansion. Billing rules varied pre PHE between private and governmental payers. The major billing changes during PHE sustained the health care system and provided access to care. Anticipated changes in billing post PHE will determine the future of telehealth. The aim of the chapter is to provide an overview of fundamentals of telehealth billing. First, we will focus on providing a basic understanding of all key stake holder payers, and the telehealth billing code system. Subsequently, we will outline telehealth services and coverage prior to and during the PHE. Finally, we attempt to review a sample of the current bills introduced to congress, shaping the future post PHE.
