We wanted to take a quick moment to remind you, Monday, June 6th, marked the end of additional COVID-19 emergency declaration blanket waivers.
As reported in April, CMS’ memo, QSO-22-15-NH & NLTC & LSC, lined out the first set of waivers that CMS rolled back on May 7th, 2022, and the second set of waivers that were terminated yesterday. The Qualifying Hospital Stay, or 3-day stay waiver, has not been announced for early termination and remains in effect.
Below, we outline a few essential waivers, initially implemented in response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, which have now been terminated. This set of waivers affects Skilled Nursing Facilities/Nursing Facilities (SNFs/NFs), Inpatient Hospices, and Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IIDs).
