Beginning January 1, 2026, CMS will implement sweeping changes to Medicare reimbursement that impact more than 95% of CPT codes —including payment cuts, dual conversion factors, RVU redistribution, and significant telehealth policy shifts. Coupled with major Medicaid cuts and ongoing budget uncertainty disrupting telehealth claims, these changes put revenue, compliance, and operations at risk.

Join virtual care billing expert Jill Young to learn three practical steps you can take today to safeguard reimbursement, stay compliant, and strengthen your billing strategy. Attendees will gain clarity on the two new Medicare fee schedules, understand the impact of RVU “equalization,” and discover how new RPM and RTM billing codes can boost patient engagement and revenue.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Analyze how the 2026 Medicare Fee Schedule changes—including dual conversion factors, RVU redistribution, and reimbursement cuts—impact primary care and specialty practices across facility and non-facility settings.
• Navigate updated Medicare telehealth policies by identifying covered services, supervision requirements, and billing rules to ensure continued reimbursement during policy transitions.
• Apply compliant RPM and RTM billing strategies, including new 2026 codes, to improve patient engagement, clinical outcomes, and practice revenue.
• Evaluate how care management services, vendor partnerships, and workflow optimization can enhance operational efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance.
• Forecast and mitigate financial risk by modeling reimbursement changes, understanding MIPS updates, and implementing strategies to protect revenue during budget disruptions or public health emergencies.
• Strengthen compliance strategy, including preparation for 2026 MIPS updates affecting compensation
• Improve payer communication to reduce denials and payment delays
• Learn how strategic vendor partnerships can reduce administrative burden and operational costs
• Participate in a live Q&A session to address practice-specific challenges
