3. Other Issues
Comment: In 2005, CMS received a request to add the
following procedure codes to the list of approved
telehealth services: initial nursing facility care (as
described by HCPCS codes 99304 through 99306); subsequent
nursing facility care (HCPCS codes 99307 through 99310);
nursing facility discharge services (HCPCS codes 99315 and
99316); and other nursing facility services (as described
by HCPCS code 99318). In the CY 2007 PFS final rule with
comment period, we did not add these nursing facility care
services to the list of approved telehealth services
because these procedure codes did not describe services
