The Public Health Emergency (PHE) has been extended for the eight time.
The federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has extended the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) for another 90 days, which means many payer flexibilities are likely to continue as well. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra issued the extension on Jan. 14, two days before the PHE was set to expire. The new extension runs through April 16. It is the eighth extension of the PHE since HHS originally declared the emergency in late January 2020. |
