Webinar: Life in the Post-COVID-19 World: The New Normal for DME Suppliers
Presented by Jeff Baird, Esq. and Brad Howard, Esq. of Brown & Fortunato
Except for the 1917 influenza pandemic, what our country is experiencing is unprecedented. There is no playbook on how to respond…and the law is working overtime to catch up with events that are continuing to unfold on the ground.
DME suppliers play an important role in keeping patients out of the hospital. This webinar will discuss:
- federal statutory and regulatory guidelines applicable to DME suppliers during the heat of the pandemic…and for the foreseeable future after the pandemic is under control;
- the approaches that the National Supplier Clearinghouse and other CMS contractors are taking towards DME suppliers during the current crisis…and the approaches they will take in the post-pandemic world; and
- the relaxation of guidelines by third party payors now and, hopefully, in the future.
- the relaxation of guidelines by third party payors now and, hopefully, in the future.
The program will discuss the recently passed federal laws that affect DME suppliers, including the (i) Families First Coronavirus Response Act; (ii) Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act; (iii) Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act; (iv) Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”); (v) Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (“PPPHCE Act”); and (vi) recent EEOC guidance.
