Recent waivers by CMS that allow for limited digital communication with patients have triggered a wave of questions. Here are our answers to the ones we hear most often.

APTA is receiving many questions about the recent regulatory waivers announced by CMS related to digital communication between providers and patients, particularly regarding e-visits and the use of HCPCS codes G2061-G2063. We've compiled this list of the most common questions we've received so far.

If you have a handle on e-visits and just want a brief review of the basics, see our "Quick Reference to Using E-Visits for Physical Therapist Services." But if the new waivers leave you with questions, continue HERE.

Please note that e-visits are NOT the same as telehealth or telerehab services.

With that said, APTA regulatory and payment staff are working directly with CMS and private payers to seek expansion of coverage of telehealth services to include physical therapy services.
