2026 CMS RTM Changes: What Orthopedic Practices Need to Know

Fair Winds Medical • March 2026 • 8 min read

Key Takeaway

The 2026 CMS rule change dropped the RTM patient engagement requirement from 16 days to 2 days per billing period. This means 30 to 40% more of your existing patients now qualify for RTM billing. Practices that act now capture the revenue. Practices that wait leave money on the table.
