When the Public Health Emergency expires tomorrow, May 11, 2023, it is important to note that most of the 1135 emergency waivers granted during the PHE will end. Recently CMS issued, “Guidelines for the Expiration of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency”. This QSO describes the timelines for certain regulatory requirements issued during the PHE through Interim Final Rules with Comments (IFCs). The guidance for the termination of emergency waivers and timelines for requirements issued through IFCs are grouped by provider type, starting with guidance that affects all provider types. These guidelines can be found by clicking, Guidance for the Expiration of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) (cms.gov).
