Telehealth Billing Services in Connecticut
Connecticut's telehealth practices face unique billing challenges shaped by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield's commercial rules, HUSKY Health requirements, and Novitas Solutions Medicare policies. Our AAPC-certified coders specialize in both CT payer rules and telehealth coding complexity.
Why Connecticut Telehealth Practices Need Specialized Billing
Connecticut's healthcare market includes 13,000+ physicians, and telehealth practices here face a payer market dominated by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield on the commercial side and HUSKY Health on the public payer side. Medicare claims are processed through Novitas Solutions, which applies its own Local Coverage Determinations that directly affect telehealth procedure coverage and medical necessity requirements. Generic billing teams without CT specific knowledge leave revenue on the table.
Telehealth billing itself is complex. Telehealth billing requires precise modifier and place-of-service coding that varies by payer and state. The distinction between POS 02 (telehealth facility) and POS 10 (telehealth patient home) affects reimbursement rates. Modifier 95 designates real-time audio/video services, while modifier 93 covers audio-only visits. Remote patient monitoring codes 99453-99458 and telephone E/M codes 99441-99443 add further billing opportunities that many practices miss entirely. When you combine this coding complexity with Connecticut's specific payer rules, authorization requirements, and 1 HUSKY Health managed care plans that each have their own billing rules, you need a team that understands both dimensions. Go Medical Billing provides that expertise at 2.49% of collections, serving telehealth practices from Hartford to Bridgeport and across Connecticut.

Connecticut Payer Challenges for Telehealth
Every CT payer has specific rules for telehealth claims. Here's how we navigate them.
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Telehealth Claims
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield processes the largest share of Connecticut commercial telehealth claims. We know their CT specific fee schedules, prior authorization requirements for telehealth procedures, and their appeal timelines when claims are denied. POS 02 reimburses at facility rates while POS 10 reimburses at non-facility rates — choosing incorrectly reduces reimbursement by 15-30%.
HUSKY Health Telehealth Billing
HUSKY Health routes telehealth patients through 1 managed care plans: Community Health Network. Each MCO has its own telehealth authorization and billing rules that we manage.
Medicare (Novitas Solutions) Telehealth Coverage
Novitas Solutions processes Medicare telehealth claims in Connecticut with its own Local Coverage Determinations. We navigate Novitas Solutions's policies around modifier 95 vs 93 requirements to prevent medical necessity denials.
Denial Prevention for Connecticut Telehealth
Common telehealth denials in Connecticut include pos 02 reimburses at facility rates while pos 10 reimburses at non-facility rates — choosing incorrectly reduces reimbursement by 15-30% and synchronous audio/video visits use modifier 95, audio-only visits use modifier 93, and payers vary on which they accept. Our team catches these issues before submission and appeals aggressively with CT payer-specific documentation when denials occur.
