Extensión de la emergencia de salud pública de la COVID-19 por el Gobierno federal
On July 23, 2020, HHS Secretary Alex Azar renewed the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. This extends flexibilities and funding tied to the public health emergency (PHE) to continue for another 90 days.
With this renewal the various testing, screening, billing, and telehealth coverages that were implemented in response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency earlier this year will be extended to our members through late October, until the PHE is either terminated or extended again. This extension does not affect coverages that had already been made effective through December 31, 2020.
De acuerdo con esta extensión, hemos actualizado el documento Guía general para las pruebas, detección y tratamiento de la COVID-19, así como los documentos de la Guía de telesalud de COVID-19 para proveedores publicados en nuestro sitio web.
