Place of Service 02 vs. 10: Where Clinics Lose Money

Using the wrong Place of Service code will result in automatic claim rejections or underpayments. Here is how our automated billing scrubbers ensure 100% compliant reimbursement.

Place of Service (POS) 10

Use when the patient is located in their private residence (home, apartment, private dorm) at the time of the virtual session. Reimbursed at the higher non-facility rate for most commercial payers and Medicare.

  • Patient in private home
  • Higher reimbursement tier
  • Requires modifier 95 on commercial

Place of Service (POS) 02

Use when the patient is at an originating site other than their home (e.g., patient in a private work office, community clinic, or temporary commercial facility). Reimbursed at the facility rate for specific regional payers.

  • Patient outside residence
  • Facility payment rules
  • Automated payer rule lookup

Audio-Only Encounters (93 / FQ)

When video connection fails due to poor broadband or patient technological limitation, you can still bill if clinical necessity is documented. We apply modifier 93 or FQ to prevent technical denial.

  • Phone-only counseling
  • Documented video failure note
  • Medicare parity compliance
