Source & method Copy link

Amounts computed from the CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q4 2017 release , GPCI 1.000, before the ~2% sequestration cut. This is our own clean-room grouping by common clinical scenario, not the AMA’s code-family taxonomy. It is a curated starter set, not a utilization-weighted specialty mix. A code with no amount is either not separately payable under the PFS or absent from the release—never a fake $0.

Medicare’s eligible telehealth-services list changes by calendar year. This comparison uses Office (non-facility) amounts, the PFS basis for POS 10 when the patient is at home. POS 02 telehealth outside the patient’s home uses facility amounts; modifiers 93 and 95 identify audio-only or audio-video delivery but do not by themselves change the rate basis. This page does not reconstruct historical eligibility or claim-level modifier rules.
