Description:

The landscape of telehealth continues to shift rapidly as the industry moves further away from the Public Health Emergency (PHE) and adapts to evolving federal policy. In recent months, ongoing government funding negotiations and temporary extensions have created uncertainty for providers, health systems, and compliance teams striving to stay ahead of regulatory changes. As we approach FY 2026, organizations must prepare for potential adjustments in Medicare telehealth flexibilities, geographic and originating site requirements, eligible provider types, audio-only allowances, and coverage of remote services that were expanded during the pandemic.

This session provides a clear and comprehensive overview of where telehealth stands today—and where it is heading. Participants will review recent Congressional actions, CMS final rule updates, and the implications of short-term extensions tied to government funding resolutions. We will also discuss how to interpret shifting code sets, supervision requirements, documentation expectations, and billing rules that support compliant telehealth practices.

With compliance scrutiny increasing, the session emphasizes the importance of accuracy in coding, medical necessity, platform requirements, and digital communication policies. Attendees will learn how to identify common compliance risks, reduce audit exposure, and create internal safeguards that protect both the providers delivering care and the patients receiving it.

Whether your organization is expanding virtual services or cautiously maintaining them, this session will equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate FY 2026 with confidence. Participants will walk away with clarity, updated guidance, and practical strategies for sustaining compliant, high-quality telehealth services in a post-PHE world.
