On September 30, 2025, the federal government officially shut down, triggering the expiration of Medicare waivers that had expanded telehealth reimbursement.

In this emergency CTeL Town Hall, our team walked through:

• The immediate impacts of the shutdown on telehealth providers

• What the expiration of Medicare telehealth waivers means for reimbursement

• How practices can prepare for disruptions and adapt in the short term

• What to expect in the weeks ahead as Congress works toward a resolution

This discussion was designed to give healthcare leaders and practitioners timely guidance on navigating the policy and operational challenges created by the shutdown.
