Eligible Services & Audio-Only …It’s in the Way They Write It!
This edition of The Center for Connected Health Policy’s (CCHP) weekly #TelehealthTuesday is the final edition of our special series on what the Medicare telehealth landscape would look like should the federal Medicare temporary telehealth waivers expire, as they are now set to do on September 30, 2025. While there is still time for some action that could change what is laid out below, as of today, this is the current state of the policies. Additionally, each newsletter in this series has also taken into consideration the impacts of the proposals that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) made within the 2026 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS), if they are adopted as proposed (see CCHP’s fact sheet on the 2026 PFS proposals). In this particular edition, which is focusing on eligible services and audio-only, the 2026 PFS proposals would play a significant role.
