Physicians and nonphysician health care providers may conduct evaluation and management services by telephone. To view guidance on how to properly bill for telephone services.

CPT code 87635 or HCPCS Level II U0002 for the COVID-19 testing?

The Division adopted HCPCS Level II U0002 for COVID-19 testing through an Interpretive Bulletin issued March 17th and assigned a value of $98.70. Both codes report the same service and have the same suggested value, but payers have been instructed to load U0002, so the use of this code will help facilitate proper and timely payment.
