KZA Alert: New HIPAA Standards for Claims Attachments & E-Signatures

HHS has finalized a major administrative simplification rule establishing the first national HIPAA standards for electronic claims attachments and electronic signatures. In this KZA Alert, we break down what this change means for healthcare organizations, including new transaction requirements, updated security standards, and the transition away from manual, paper-based processes. This quick update highlights key dates, operational impacts, and early action steps to help practices prepare for compliance ahead of the 2028 deadline.

Episode KZA Alert: 2026 ABN Changes Cover

KZA Alert: 2026 ABN Changes

CMS has released an updated version of the Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage, and practices have a limited window to comply. In this KZA Alert, we break down what’s changed in the revised Form CMS-R-131, who is required to use it, and what steps your team should take now to avoid compliance issues and lost reimbursement. This update focuses on practical implementation, from updating workflows and systems to ensuring staff are aligned before the May 12, 2026 deadline. We also highlight the risks of continuing to use outdated forms and why this seemingly small change can have significant financial implications for your practice. For direct access to the updated form, CMS resources, and additional guidance, please see the links provided below: CMS BNI Webpage: cms.gov/medicare/forms-notices/beneficiary-notices-initiative [https://www.cms.gov/medicare/forms-notices/beneficiary-notices-initiative] CMS ABN Page: cms.gov/medicare/forms-notices/beneficiary-notices-initiative/ffs-abn [https://www.cms.gov/medicare/forms-notices/beneficiary-notices-initiative/ffs-abn] Medicare Learning Network (MLN): cms.gov/training-education/medicare-learning-networkr-mln/resources-training [https://www.cms.gov/training-education/medicare-learning-networkr-mln/resources-training] Contact your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for jurisdiction-specific guidance.

KZA Alert: Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026 & Extended Telehealth Flexibilities

Congress has passed, and the President has signed, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026 (H.R. 7148), delivering a major win for Medicare telehealth. The legislation extends pandemic-era Medicare telehealth flexibilities through December 31, 2027, providing much-needed stability for practices and patients alike. In this KZA Alert, we break down what the extension includes: * Continued access to home-based Medicare telehealth services * Ongoing coverage for audio-only telehealth visits * Removal of geographic and originating site restrictions * Continued authorization for RHCs and FQHCs to serve as distant-site telehealth providers * Extended flexibility for behavioral health and hospice recertification via telehealth * An extension of the Acute Hospital Care at Home program through 2030 * Upcoming new CMS telehealth billing modifiers expected in 2027 This fast, focused update is designed to help practice leaders, coders, billers, and compliance teams understand what’s changed, how long these policies will remain in effect, and what to watch next as Medicare telehealth policy continues to evolve.
