过去几年，由于冠状病毒大流行，远程医疗得到了广泛接受，通过远程保健对患者就诊和监测的编码得到了扩大。关于通过远程医疗提供的服务，过敏专科医生/免疫学家感兴趣的编码主题在未来几年将变得越来越重要。电话的CPT编码以及同步的面对面远程医疗访问在过去几年中发生了变化。在冠状病毒大流行期间，由于需要保持距离和保护病人，远程保健服务大幅增加。引入更新的设备来远程监控患者的情况将会增加，并将纳入患者护理。本审查将总结当前可用于指定提供了哪些服务的代码。远程医疗领域正在发生变化，并将随着其他访问平台的设计和监测患者的其他方法的出现而继续发展。对这些服务进行编码将是提供商的持续需求。
Coding for patient visits and monitoring via telehealth have expanded over the past years with a wide acceptance of telemedicine as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic. Coding topics of interest to the allergist/immunologist in regard to services provided via telemedicine will be of increasing importance in the coming years. CPT coding for telephone as well as synchronous face-to-face telehealth visits has changed over the past few years. With the need for distancing and patient protection during the coronavirus pandemic, telehealth services have increased dramatically. The introduction of newer devices to remotely monitor patients will increase and be incorporated into patient care. This review will summarize current codes available for designating what services have been provided. The area of telemedicine is changing and will continue to evolve as other platforms for visits are designed and other methods of monitoring patients become available. Coding for these services will be an ongoing need for the provider.
