Implementing the Transforming Episode Accountability Model: Telehealth Waiver

Learn about details, participation, and payment (PDF) for telehealth services under the Model with dates of service on or after January 1, 2026, such as: 

• CMS will waive geographic and originating site requirements for patients receiving these services

• The patient must meet the eligibility criteria and have a qualifying outpatient procedure or hospital inpatient stay

• The service must happen no later than 30 days after the start of the episode of care

• We added 9 new HCPCS codes, G0660–G0668 for evaluation and management services

• We’ll pay for services when the claim meets certain payment criteria, including submitting the required demonstration code A9
