Stay abreast of new care delivery flexibilities

Federal government and states are waiving regulatory hurdles to patient care during the COVID-19 emergency on a daily basis. In this swiftly moving environment, real time knowledge of what is being done external to the practice will help you manage and protect the business of the practice. To avoid non-essential email traffic, task one administrative staff member with signing up for and disseminating alerts from your Governor’s office, state and local departments of health, and payors.

Your legal and financial obligations may change as the status of your locality changes (e.g. those practices in states who have declared a state of emergency may have unique rights to not satisfy contractual obligations), and other government or payor notices may provide needed flexibilities to enable patient care.

A message from CHAP:

CMS "Blanket" Waivers are effective March 1, 2020 and will end no later than when the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency ends. "Blanket" Waivers apply to all providers noted, as opposed to waivers granted to individual companies or organizations.

Changes include homebound definition, certification/re-certification of home health eligibility, initial assessments by telehealth, aide supervision, hospice volunteers, and more. See links below for detailed information.
