HHS Extends the Public Health Emergency

Jan 11, 2023

On Wednesday, January 11, the US 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 April 2023.  HHS has indicated that it will provide 60 days' notice prior to the termination of the public health emergency.  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 so as to keep members informed on this important issue.  Please contact healthpolicy@aapmr.org with any questions.
