75870 is the Category 2 incentive and pairs only with Level B to E FACE-TO-FACE attendances and Level B video or phone. It does not pair with Level A, with health assessments, with care plans, or with Level C to E telehealth - those take a Category 1 item (10990 in MM1) or, for MyMedicare Level C to E video and Level C to D phone, a Category 3 item (75880 in MM1). The Modified Monash area is that of your practice location, not the patient's.
