Healthcare DIVE June 29, 2020
Dive Brief:
- The American Hospital Association is urging CMS to retain the relaxed regulations or waivers it has extended to the industry beyond the COVID-19 public health crisis currently set to expire in about a month.
- Specifically, AHA and its 5,000 member hospitals want to keep the flexibilities around telehealth, quality and compliance measures and bed capacity.
- AHA said it will help physicians and hospitals be more efficient by removing these barriers “While our members continue to do everything they can to address COVID-19 cases, they also must begin to assess how to best care for all patients moving forward,” CEO Richard Pollack said in a letter sent to CMS Administrator Seema Verma on Friday.
