Beginning January 1, 2026, CMS will implement sweeping changes to Medicare reimbursement that impact 95% of CPT codes, introducing reimbursement cuts, two separate conversion factors, RVU redistribution, and major telehealth policy shifts. These changes will significantly affect revenue, compliance, and operational workflows for healthcare practices of all sizes.

This high-impact session, led by industry expert Jill Young, delivers a clear, practical breakdown of the 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule, helping healthcare professionals prepare before the cuts take effect. Attendees will learn how to evaluate which services are most impacted, determine eligibility for higher conversion factors, and apply proven strategies to minimize reimbursement losses.

The session also dives deep into telehealth supervision updates, RPM and RTM billing expansions, care management integration, and the effects of RVU “equalization.” With Medicaid pressure, telehealth uncertainty, and ongoing budget challenges, this training equips participants with actionable steps to improve billing accuracy, compliance, forecasting, and revenue protection.
