CMS-1403-FC furnished in a face-to-face encounter at a SNF effective January 1, 2009. Since we believed it was not relevant to add these codes when SNFs were not eligible originating sites, we did not include a full review of these codes in the CY 2007 PFS proposed rule or final rule with comment period. We also note that in considering nursing facility care for telehealth, we would need to carefully evaluate the use of telehealth for the personal visits that are currently required under §483.40, (which are billed using procedure codes included in this request). Overall, we believe that it would be more appropriate to consider the addition of nursing facility care services for telehealth through full notice and comment procedures. In the CY 2010 PFS proposed rule, we will address the request to add nursing facility care services to the list of approved telehealth services, as received in 2005. In light of the previous request to add these services and the new legislation adding SNFs as permissible telehealth originating sites, we will accept additional information in support of this request for consideration in the CY 2010 proposed rule if received prior to December 31, 2008. Comment: We received a request to add health and behavior assessment and intervention codes (as described by 120
CMS-1403-FC HCPCS codes 96150 through 96154) to the list of approved telehealth services. Response: Requests submitted before the end of CY 2008 will be considered for the CY 2010 proposed rule. Requestors should be advised that each request to add a service to the list of Medicare telehealth services must include any supporting documentation the requestor wishes us to consider as we review the request.
