September is here and the expiration of the Medicare telehealth waivers, is approaching quickly!

Without action from Congress, Medicare will return to its permanent rules on September 30, 2025. This means geographic and other restrictions will be reinstated, reducing access to telehealth for many Medicare enrollees.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently released proposals for the 2026 Physician Fee Schedule which could also affect permanent telehealth policies. Starting October 1, 2025, some patients and providers may experience these rules for the first time, and it could create confusion.

To help clarify the changes, The Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP) will be publishing a newsletter series examining what the Medicare telehealth policy environment could look like if the waivers expire. Each edition will focus on a specific aspect of permanent policy. This week the focus is on Medicare location requirements.

If you are not already subscribed, the CCHP newsletter is a helpful resource for staying up to date on telehealth policies at both the state and national level and for knowing where to find reliable information or guidance.

Thank you to our friends at the CCHP for this information and their guidance!

The Great Plains Telehealth Resource & Assistance Center covers six states (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, and North & South Dakota) and is located at the University of Minnesota. The Heartland Telehealth Resource Center, located at the University of Kansas Medical Center, aims to increase adoption of telehealth in order to better serve rural and underserved residents in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. The Upper Midwest Telehealth Resource Center is hosted by the Indiana Rural Health Association and serves Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois.

This is the third year these TRCs have co-hosted this conference to build partnerships across the greater Midwest/Great Lakes region. All TRCs work to provide information and training for all aspects of telehealth with a focus on providers serving rural and underserved populations.
