Medicare Telehealth Flexibilities Extended

With the passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (HR 7148), the telehealth flexibilities that had previously expired on January 30 were retroactively reinstated. Telehealth flexibilities will be available through January 31, 2027. This means providers may again provide telehealth services with no geographic restrictions and patients may receive telehealth services from their home. CMS provides more guidance on these telehealth flexibilities at https://www.cms.gov/files/document/telehealth-faq-updated-02-04-2026.pdf.
