CMS COVID-19 Stated Objectives
30/04/20
- To ensure that local hospitals and health systems have the capacity to handle COVID-19 patients through temporary expansion sites (also known as the CMS Hospital Without Walls initiative);
- To expand at-home and community-based testing to minimize transmission of COVID-19;
- To expand the healthcare workforce by removing barriers for physicians, nurses, and other clinicians to be readily hired from the local community or other states;
- To increase access to telehealth for Medicare patients so they can get care from their physicians and other clinicians while staying safely at home; and
- put patients over paperwork by giving providers, healthcare facilities, Medicare Advantage and Part D plans, and states temporary relief from many reporting and audit requirements so they can focus on patient care.
