Telehealth Billing Services in Vermont
Vermont's telehealth practices face unique billing challenges shaped by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont's commercial rules, Vermont Medicaid requirements, and Novitas Solutions Medicare policies. Our AAPC-certified coders specialize in both VT payer rules and telehealth coding complexity.
Why Vermont Telehealth Practices Need Specialized Billing
Vermont's healthcare market includes 2,500+ physicians, and telehealth practices here face a payer market dominated by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont on the commercial side and Vermont Medicaid 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 VT 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 Vermont's specific payer rules, authorization requirements, and 1 Vermont Medicaid 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 Burlington to Brattleboro and across Vermont.

Vermont Payer Challenges for Telehealth
Every VT payer has specific rules for telehealth claims. Here's how we navigate them.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont Telehealth Claims
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont processes the largest share of Vermont commercial telehealth claims. We know their VT 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%.
Vermont Medicaid Telehealth Billing
Vermont Medicaid routes telehealth patients through 1 managed care plans: Green Mountain Care. 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 Vermont 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 Vermont Telehealth
Common telehealth denials in Vermont 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 VT payer-specific documentation when denials occur.
