Federal Officials Announce Medical Relief in Wake of Hurricane
In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Debby, now Tropical Storm Debby, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced additional resources and flexibilities to support the affected states of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Following President Biden’s emergency declarations and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra’s Public Health Emergency determination, CMS is working closely with these states to ensure continued access to critical healthcare services.
Importantly, CMS is offering state waivers and other support to help healthcare providers in the impacted regions maintain operations and deliver essential care during this challenging time, according to Timothy Powell, an independent senior healthcare consultant, who also serves as the national correspondent for ICD10monitor and will be the special guest for the next edition of Monitor Mondays.
Other segments during the weekly Internet broadcast will include these instantly recognizable features:
• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.
• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.
• Legislative Update: Matthew Albright, chief legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.
• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.
