Some patients may have costs depending on their insurance, which should be shared with the patient, such as on an annual preemptive basis. Reinforce that they’ll get faster, more convenient care that’s always lower cost compared to another visit.
Copy and paste a pre-filled note with billing codes from the Simvuly website into the record and your organization will bill as normal at an average of 0.7 work RVUs and $130 for as little as five minutes of time. Most payer contracts already support these codes, so reimbursement flows through your existing RVU bonus or compensation model. No new agreements, malpractice coverage or billing setup needed.
Yes. Just like how you use your phone to call or text on patient cases, you can now use Simvuly instead. Most payer contracts already support these codes and your organization bills as normal, so there’s nothing extra to set up. As always, follow any additional organizational billing compliance requirements, of course.
Yes. Since, there are no patients directly involved, consults are not telemedicine and the same geographic restrictions do not apply.
Yes. Most payers have already been reimbursing your organization for physician-to-physician consults for many years. Codes go back to 2014 and were reimbursed by CMS since 2019.
In fact over 100 studies have shown consults improve care plans and patient satisfaction over 90% of the time. So, payers love it and many even incentivize use with high reimbursements and one of the lowest denial rates (Medicare 2024 denial rate under 2%).
All the cases you already do. Response times vary by physician, and they are not formally on call unless specified. You can set the expected response time; if the first physician declines or doesn’t respond, the consult automatically redirects to the next qualified and available physician. All with mobile notifications.
The key requirement is that the advice is patient-specific and provided by a physician with relevant expertise.
Consulted physicians use 99451 starting at 5 minutes. You must have not seen, or plan to see, the patient within the past or next 14 days.
Treating physicians use 99452 starting at 16 minutes, all inclusive of prep, consult and patient follwup, on a different day than the most recent billable visit. You must have not billed for another physician-to-physician consult for this patient in the past 7 days. And, you can also “level-up” the prior billable visit by adding any time spent on the same day of the visit or document MDM category 3 (medical decision making: discussion of management or test interpretation).
Consults are advice-only to the treating physician, who retains full responsibility for patient care and won’t add the consulted physician’s name in the chart unless agreed otherwise.
We know the routine of calls, texts and emails. With no time or structured support and an overload of information, this often becomes a source of stress. Phone tag, mid-clinic interruptions, and pajama time follow-ups are the norm. It’s essential work, but invisible, uncompensated and, at times, frustrating.
We’re practicing physicians and health tech leaders who’ve built pioneering products trusted by over 100,000 physicians. That experience inspired Simvuly, named after the most-used Greek term in the Hippocratic Oath, referring to physician-to-physician consults. We’ve poured clinical insight into every detail of Simvuly, making it intuitive, efficient and “built for me”. It’s the app we wish existed years ago, and we’re thrilled to share it with you.
