The expiration of the Medicare telehealth waivers on September 30, 2025, has created significant uncertainty for providers as longstanding flexibilities have been scaled back or altered. While Congress continues to negotiate a government funding package that may reinstate some of these flexibilities, permanent statutory restrictions are now in effect layered with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)’ guidance that is at times ambiguous or unclear. As a result, providers are facing complex questions regarding in-person visit requirements, billing procedures, and the applicability of policies across different care settings. As a result, CCHP has created two new resource documents in an effort to add some clarity to the currently quite complex landscape.

1. FAQ Document:  outlines common questions CCHP has received in regard to telehealth, including mental health and FQHC/RHC information.
2. Summary Chart:  outlines current permanent telehealth policy as CCHP understands it today, with accompanying source citations and insights.
