On Friday, July 15, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) announced a renewal of the ongoing Public Health Emergency (PHE). Documentation of this extension can be found on the PHE website. The PHE will be up for renewal in mid-October. HHS has indicated that it will provide 60 days notice prior to the termination of the public health. This advanced warning is intended to allow time to prepare for the expiration of the many waivers associated with the PHE. AAPM&R will be closely monitoring alerts from HHS in the coming months to keep members informed on this important issue.
