    Clinical & Coding Specifications

    Clinical Context

    A typical patient is an adult presenting for a brief, focused virtual evaluation related to an acute or worsening symptom that can be assessed remotely. The scenario often involves patients with minor new complaints (for example, sore throat, rash, sinus symptoms, medication questions, or mild musculoskeletal pain) or follow-up for stable chronic conditions that require short, problem-focused assessment and management. The clinical workflow begins with patient intake via telehealth platform or telephone triage, collection of focused history and any patient-supplied images or home-measured vital signs, provider-focused examination limited by the virtual setting, documentation of medical decision making appropriate to a brief/problem-focused visit, and disposition that may include home care instructions, medication changes, or recommendation for in-person follow-up or emergency care as needed. Typical sites of service are virtual/telehealth settings and outpatient clinic when the visit is billed as a brief virtual encounter. Common payors include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, BUCA, and Medicare.
