Medicare's 2026 telehealth rules are already in effect — here's what to fix before 2027 changes arrive.

Medicare telehealth policy continues to evolve rapidly, creating both opportunities and compliance challenges for healthcare organizations. The CY 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule includes significant telehealth updates that affect providers, coding professionals, billing departments, compliance teams, Rural Health Clinics (RHCs), Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), and organizations seeking to expand virtual care services. Healthcare professionals must understand which telehealth flexibilities have been finalized, which requirements remain in effect, and how these changes impact reimbursement, documentation, supervision, and operational workflows.

This webinar provides a comprehensive review of Medicare's current telehealth framework under the CY 2026 Final Rule, including additions to the Medicare Telehealth Services List, changes to CMS's telehealth service evaluation process, audio-only telehealth considerations, behavioral health updates, and virtual supervision policies. Attendees will learn how CMS has simplified the process for telehealth service approvals and permanently removed frequency limitations for certain inpatient, nursing facility, and critical care telehealth visits. The session will also address practical compliance considerations, coding updates, documentation requirements, and reimbursement implications that affect day-to-day operations.

In addition, the webinar will examine the CY 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule and its potential impact on healthcare organizations. Proposed changes include additional telehealth codes and modifiers, expansion of teaching physician virtual presence policies, updates affecting RHCs and FQHCs, and further telehealth flexibilities under consideration by CMS. Participants will gain insight into what has been finalized versus what remains proposed, helping organizations prepare strategically for future regulatory developments.
