Yes great news with Medicare!!!! In the state of Montana can do the same with private insurance. I have billed secure video chat successfully with Blue Cross patients and just use the same code I would use like an office visit usually 99213 for simple stuff. I do like the integration of Updox as everything on one platform, e-fax, secure text, secure video chat and patient portal. Can either use the email or cell phone to secure video chat so some patients only have the portal or secure text but most have both. Just did a secure video chat via patient's cell phone/my office computer with logitech camera on patient with fever, cough, had him meet me out in parking lot 5 minutes later, swabbed his nasopharynx and Quest lab tech should get it out tomorrow, answer in 3-4 days for Corona Virus. Worked quite well, then sent f/u summary and handout from up to date with Corona Virus info via portal. All one easy platform that plays well with AC. Well worth the 177 $ per month in my opinion.
