The Public Health Emergency (PHE) was extended, as expected, April 16. But here’s the caveat when it comes to PHE waivers: not all waivers were created equal. For example, does a PHE declaration waive or preempt state licensing requirements for healthcare providers? Are HIPAA protections for virtual care removed? 

Reporting this developing story during the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays will be nationally recognized professional auditor, coder, educator and author Terry Fletcher. Listen and learn as Fletcher walks you and your team through the labyrinth of issues associated with the current PHE extension and what those mean for physicians and what assumptions not to make.
