Today, the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs) to clarify coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of the
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) by catastrophic health plans. The
FAQs issued today align with guidance the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
released last week, which provides flexibility to high deductible health
plans to provide health benefits for diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19
without application of a deductible or cost-sharing.
These
FAQs, and earlier CMS actions in response to the COVID-19 virus, are part
of the ongoing White House Task Force efforts. To keep up with the
important work the Task Force is doing in response to COVID-19, click here www.coronavirus.gov for further
information. For a complete and updated list of CMS actions, and other
information specific to CMS, please visit the Current
Emergencies Website.
