March 27, 2023

The Biden Administration recently announced their intent to end the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) on May 11, 2023. Since the start of the PHE in January 2020, many waivers and flexibility have been granted across the health care industry to reduce administrative burden, increase access to care, and more. Since then, many of the flexibilities have been granted permanent coverage, or given a timeline separate from the PHE.

We encourage you to join us for an upcoming webinar on Tuesday, April 5, 2023, at 3 PM ET where NARHC’s Director of Government Affairs, Sarah Hohman, will provide an overview of the various flexibilities, including telehealth, and their status once the PHE concludes.

This webinar will offer time for Q&A, and questions can be submitted during registration, as well.

You must register in advance for the free webinar!

Date: Tuesday, April 5th, 3 PM Eastern

Sarah Hohman, NARHC Director of Government Affairs
