Impact of the PHE on Telehealth: Comparative Billing Report in August

In late August, CMS will issue a Special Edition Comparative Billing Report (CBR) on the impact of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) on Part B claims for telehealth. Use the data-driven report to compare your billing practices during the PHE with those of your peers in your state and across the nation.

CBRs aren’t publicly available. Look for an email from cbrpepper.noreply@religroupinc.com to access your report. Update your email address in the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System to ensure delivery.
