The end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) on May 11 brought changes that every healthcare provider needs to understand, from important coding and billing updates to key compliance shifts. While some PHE waivers have come to an end, others (such as telehealth provisions) continue on. In this 60-minute webinar, discover all of the nuances of the post-PHE landscape and steer your practice to success.
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Understand what the end of the PHE means for their practice and what they should be doing differently now
- Make changes in billing, coding, policies and procedures, and other processes to comply with the post-PHE requirements
- Explain these changes to relevant staff
- Address issues raised by failure to comply with the post-PHE changes
