The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has recently issued a proposed ruling that has introduced monumental changes to the physician fee schedule. It has paved a new roadmap for the asynchronous telemedicine as well as the new technologies with a new set of virtual codes.

 CMS has already explained the impetus with the bold changes and has declared that have now recognized the advances with technology that has transformed the expectations of the patients as well as the practitioners.

They expect that a broader range of services can well be furnished by the healthcare professionals as compared to 20 years ago. The expansion of telemedicine to rural areas will be instrumental in reducing the cumulative wait times with physicians, providing a feasible medium for better care management possibilities.

The new virtual codes for the services proposed by CMS have to be covered under specific conditions. It will encompass:

• Titled “Brief technology-based service”, it covers the virtual check-ins
• Titled as “Remote evaluation of prerecorded patient information” it covers asynchronous videos and images
