In this episode, Scott, Mark, and Dr. John Lin break down the latest telehealth news—Congress has officially extended Medicare telehealth coverage through the end of 2027, offering long-term stability for practices. They also answer a listener's question about billing 52235 and 51720 together, covering when a modifier can be used and how to document instillation in the recovery room properly. The episode wraps with a cautionary tale about “medically impossible days,” where excessive use of time-based coding and level 5 visits can trigger audits and serious compliance risk. Stay informed, stay compliant, and keep calm—telehealth on.
