COVID-19 Healthcare Provider Updates: Hospice, Home Health, and Nursing Homes: Strategies for the Post-Acute Care Continuum of Care Challenges

Our COVID-19 Healthcare Provider Update Webinar Series will address the evolving, unprecedented legal issues that arise from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We will host updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:00 pm ET.  Visit our Healthcare Provider Update page for additional information and a full list of upcoming sessions.

Home health, hospice and nursing home providers and their staff are facing extraordinary challenges in providing patient care during the COVID crisis. Federal and state health agencies have responded urgently with waivers, expanded telehealth options and privacy compliance, and the CARES Act provides additional relief. Yet, the post-acute care continuum is at risk and additional regulatory relief will be needed, particularly in COVID service area hotspots, like New York and New Orleans. Our webinar update and curated materials will cover:

• Strategies for the Post-Acute Care Continuum of Care Challenges
• Update on 1135 Medicare, Medicaid, and Other Waivers
• Update on Suspension of Quality and Other Mandatory Reporting
• Survey and Audit Activities
• Requests to Regulators for Additional Regulatory Flexibility for Post-Acute Care Providers
