CMS first said Sept. 6 it is looking for input from stakeholders across the healthcare system on accessing healthcare and related challenges, provider experiences, and health equity, in addition to comments on the PHE.
HHS recently extended the PHE until at least Jan. 11, 2023.
When the PHE is over, several pandemic-era provisions will end, including continuous Medicaid enrollment, telehealth flexibilities, and government-purchased COVID vaccines and treatments.
