    PDF from IPA Covid Resource website: Recommendations for Psychoanalysts Regarding the Use of Videoconferencing in their Practice 

     

    Insurance/CPT - Add GT or 95 to existing codes - Some insurance companies just want you to put "02" instead of "11" for place of service (11 is office, 02 is telehealth) and still use the regular CPT codes without additions.
