CMS Releases Updated Telehealth FAQ After Funding Bill Extends Flexibilities Through 2027

Published in Government Relations on February 06, 2026

Earlier this week, Congress extended Medicare telehealth flexibilities through Dec, 31, 2027, as part of the newly signed federal funding bill. In response, CMS has released updated Telehealth Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to provide clarity on what the extension means for both patients and providers.  

The updated FAQ, published on Feb. 4, 2026, outlines how telehealth services will continue operating under these extended rules—confirming that beneficiaries may keep accessing many telehealth services from their homes and that expanded provider and service allowances remain in place through 2027.
