The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is taking action to protect the health and safety
of our nation’s patients and providers in the wake of the 2019 Coronavirus
(COVID-19) outbreak. In an effort to be transparent and share this information
broadly, CMS will be posting several of our stakeholder calls. CMS
held a National Stakeholder Call on March 13, 2020, to update the
healthcare community on the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation which was
declared a national emergency by President Trump on March 13th.
This bold move empowered CMS to waive certain federal requirements in
Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP to rapidly expand the Administration’s
aggressive efforts against COVID-19 led by the White House Coronavirus
Taskforce.
The transcript and audio recording
from that call is now available to download. CMS will hold future calls and
post those transcripts and audio recordings as they become available. To
access Coronavirus COVID-19 Stakeholder calls visit: https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Outreach/OpenDoorForums/PodcastAndTranscripts. This call and earlier CMS actions in response to
the COVID-19 virus, are part of the ongoing White House Task Force efforts.
