Public Health Emergency Extended

The Department of Health & Human Services announced on Friday that it is extending the PHE until January 16, 2022.  This means that all of the waivers remain in place.  This is good news for providers and patients who have benefited from the expansion of telehealth, including for many services received by Medicare beneficiaries.  The PHE is reviewed every 90 days and a determination to renew is made on current conditions.
