📢 Telehealth update: we finally have some breathing room.

After months of uncertainty and short-term patches, Medicare telehealth flexibilities just received a longer runway.

The United States House of Representatives has passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026, extending many of the virtual care policies providers and patients rely on every day.

What this means for your practice

🗓️ Most flexibilities continue through December 31, 2027

You can still:
• Treat patients in their homes
• Provide audio-only services when video isn’t available
• Bill telehealth with PTs, OTs, SLPs, and audiologists
• Delay the in-person requirement for telemental health until 2028

The bigger picture

Telehealth isn’t “temporary” anymore — it’s becoming standard care delivery.

But extensions don’t eliminate risk.

Now is the perfect time to:
✔ Review compliance
✔ Update internal policies
✔ Check payer rules
✔ Tighten documentation and coding

THE MORE YOU KNOW!

🚨 HIPAA Penalties Just Increased Effective Immediately

The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has raised HIPAA violation fines to keep pace with inflation.

📅 Effective: January 28, 2026
📈 Why: Annual inflation adjustments required by federal law
💰 Impact: Higher financial penalties for noncompliance

OCR applied this increase later than most agencies, but enforcement is now active — meaning violations could cost more than ever.

If you handle PHI, now’s the time to:
✅ Review policies
✅ Update training
✅ Audit safeguards
✅ Strengthen compliance

These numbers matter and fines add up fast.

The More You Know

🚨 HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices Update — What You Actually Need to Know
You may be seeing a redlined HIPAA regulation with a lot of green highlights — don’t panic.

🟢 The green text shows new or revised language, not a full rewrite of HIPAA.
🟢 Most changes are clarifications, not brand-new obligations.
🟢 The key update focuses on clearer protections for substance use disorder (SUD) records.

This update affects what your Notice says, not how you run your daily operations — and it does NOT require re-signing all existing patients.

👉 The takeaway: review the green sections, confirm your Notice clearly covers them, and update wording where needed before the 2026 deadline.

Simple compliance. No panic required. ✅

Our Story

AMBA offers resources, education and national certification for medical billing (CMRS) and medical coding (CMCS). We work with independent third party and doctor's office billers and coders from across the nation. AMBA has been around since 1998. We hold a national conference in October every year where billers, coders and billing company owners of influence come together to learn and share information, ideas and network. We know that billers absolutely can do a much better job at billing if they understanding coding. That’s why we developed our coding credential.
