Event Materials (Key Required)
Telehealth is no longer temporary, and the rules that govern it continue to evolve in ways that directly affect care delivery, compliance, and reimbursement. In this session, Amanda Waesch will break down the most critical telehealth changes for 2026 in a practical and meaningful way so healthcare professionals can stay ahead rather than react after the fact.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of updated telehealth definitions, key revisions in the 2026 Physician Fee Schedule, and newly added services to the Medicare Telehealth list. The presentation will clarify changes to supervision requirements, important federal extensions, and current standards for prescribing controlled substances via telehealth. Rural and behavioral health policy updates will also be addressed to highlight what these changes mean for patient access and provider responsibilities.
