RHC Billing 101: Proper Billing for CCM & TCM Services Within the RHC
Rural Health Clinics play a prominent role in the overall care coordination of our chronically ill rural residents. The type of services that can be provided within the RHC differ from other non-RHC providers, as well as the unique billing codes and processes. The following information is designed to assist RHC staff in understanding what care coordination services are available within the RHC, how to properly bill these services, and what to prepare for from a reimbursement standpoint. It will also assist staff in understanding common hurdles and errors that can occur when billing these services, and what to do to address those errors and avoid denials.
Suggested Audience: RHC staff, care coordinators, RHC billing staff, coders, billers, RHC administration or leadership

Telehealth has changed dramatically during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) which began March 2020. This course will explain what has changed and how the billing process has evolved. Telehealth expansion started during the PHE will likely remain expanded in the future but that has yet to be decided by CMS.
