CMS released a guide June 9 for patients and beneficiaries regarding in-person care options under the direction of President Donald Trump.
Many health care systems and patients postponed in-person care that wasn’t considered an emergency during the pandemic.
As the nation is beginning to see a decline in the number of COVID-19 cases, CMS is providing these recommendations to ensure that non-emergency health care resumes safely and that patients are receiving needed in-person treatment that may have been postponed due to the public health emergency, as stated on the CMS website.
