POS Codes as of 4/1/22 – Medicare

April 24, 2022 8:27 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)


There has been some confusion about what Point of Service (POS) Codes should be used for Medicare and other insurers as of April 1, 2022. 

As you know, there were changes to POS codes that were announced as of January 1, 2022 to be “available” for Medicare as of April 1, 2022.  POS “10”, a new POS code for telemental health services that are provided when the patient is in their home, and the LCSW is in their office or elsewhere.  Other POS Codes are “2” which is used when a patient is not in their own home and receiving telemental health services from an LCSW or “11” which is used when seeing a patient in the LCSW’s office.

The Medicare modifier is 95 for any of the above codes.

It appears that the POS 10 is now being used instead of POS 2 for Medicare for reimbursement.  All other insurers, public and private, should be contacted about the POS codes that are required for reimbursement of claims. The same goes for which modifier is being used – check with the individual insurer.
