The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services yesterday released a fact sheet summarizing the status of public and private coverage for COVID-19 vaccines, testing, and treatments and certain blanket waivers for health care providers once the public health emergency ends on May 11. For example, the blanket waiver that allows hospitals participating in the Acute Hospital Care at Home program to care for certain inpatients at home will continue through the end of 2024 under recently enacted legislation.
