Medicare Post-PHE: Medicare Rules for Hospitals, Telehealth and COVID-19 Treatment and Coverage

Conference Materials (Password Required)

Course Description

The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) status as stated under Section 319 of the Public Health Service Act is expired at midnight on Thursday, May 11th. Make sure your office/organization is prepared by joining us for the most recent updates on post-PHE Medicare changes.

COVID-19 PHE relief waivers, policies and protocols provided much-needed flexibility during the pandemic to offer expanded access to medical care and support during a period of increased demand.  

Some of the changes implemented during the pandemic will be transitioned to permanent status or will be granted a delayed expiration date that extends beyond the end date of the PHE, while others will be expiring at the end of the PHE.

Throughout the pandemic, information has been ever-changing and distributed at a rapid pace. This webinar will cover a multitude of PHE related topics to include, but not limited to:

• COVID19 testing and vaccine administration.
• COVID-19 treatments and coverage
• COVID-19-related 20% add-on DRG payments.
• Telehealth Services
• Hospital at Home
• Disaster Response Waivers
• And more…
