Source: WY Dept. of Public Health Insurance, Medicaid, CMS 1500 ICD-10, p. 111-110 (July. 1 2019)
"Each site will be able to bill for their own services as long as they are an enrolled Medicaid provider (this includes out-of-state Medicaid providers). Providers shall not bill for both the spoke and hub site. Any telehealth provider such as Community Mental Health Centers and Substance Abuse Treatment Centers can bill telehealth services where the provider is at one location and the client is at a different location even though the pay to provider is the same. A single pay to provider can bill both the originating site (spoke site) and the distant site provider (hub site) when applicable."
Approved Originating Sites includes: Client’s Home (Telehealth consent form must be completed and kept in the client’s medical records)
