The Great Unwind—Preparing for the End of the PHE
Wednesday, March 23rd at 11:00 a.m. EDT
After two long years, we may be nearing the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). But with the end of the PHE comes the end of waivers and flexibilities intended to ensure access and reduce burden during the pandemic. During this webinar, PYA Principal Martie Ross will review those waivers and discuss how providers should be preparing for the return to normal operations (or the new normal). The webinar will cover the following:
Telehealth and Virtual Services
Scope of PHE waiver
Impact of 2022 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule (expanded telehealth services)
Impact of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (tele-behavioral health services)
Impact of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (151-day post-PHE waiver extension)
Agency enforcement discretion (licensure, waiver of co-payments, HIPAA compliance)
Hospital Capacity
Temporary sites
Swing beds
Acute Hospital Care at Home Program
Paperwork Reduction and Other Regulatory Flexibilities
Impact of Medicaid Disenrollment
Attendees of this one-hour complimentary webinar will be eligible for 1 CPE* credit in Specialized Knowledge. Learn more and register here.
