A national poll on healthy aging by the University of Michigan found that the percentage of older adults who had participated in telehealth visits rose from 4% in May 2019 up to 30% in June 2020.
Tip of the week
If a patient is diagnosed with COVID-19 consistent with the ICD-10-CM guidelines but does not have a positive viral test result, the hospital may decline the additional MS-DRG payment. To notify their MACs that there is no positive test result in the medical record for a COVID-19 claim, hospitals should enter a Billing Note NTE02 “No Pos Test” on the electronic claim 8371 or a remark “No Pos Test” on paper claims.
