## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Health & Medical Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/health-and-medical-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List the date, the modality the note states, and where the note says each person was. Do not say the attendance may be billed. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide billing. No Medicare telehealth item rule was opened, so no item number is stated and no place-of-service code is chosen. Model Rule 1.4(b) is the explanation you give the practitioner. 45 CFR § 164.502 limits use of the note. Formal Opinion 512 requires verification before a generated code is used. A code that is not in an opened rule is not guessed. |
