Last week, after agreeing to a deal to end the federal government shutdown, Congress passed a continuing resolution that would reopen the government, at least through January 30, 2026.  Within the continuing resolution package was an extension of the Medicare telehealth waivers, which had previously expired on October 1, 2025 (NOTE: The package contained several divisions, however the link provided in this newsletter only goes to the section containing the telehealth items).  In the passed legislation, the telehealth waivers that had expired will now be extended through January 30, 2026.
