UCR 275: Telehealth Extended Through 2027, Proper Instillation Coding, and Medically Impossible Days
February 5, 2026
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.
