Here is a clarifying announcement from CMS about coding and requirements for in-person meetings. Most of this information was sent last month. There is coding information about audio only which should be followed. Though the information is for rural health clinics it also applies to private practice elsewhere.
The information can be found at:

Please let me know if you have any questions.
All best,
Laura W. Groshong, LICSW, Director, Policy and Practice
