Federal Public Health Emergency Considerations |
|
|
|
The end of the PHE means multiple federal regulatory waivers and flexibilities will be terminated, impacting telehealth in a variety of ways. Although the CAA, 2023 extended most of the COVID telehealth flexibilities that were incorporated into law until 2024, CMS also made a variety of administrative policy changes that were not addressed in the new law. As a surprise to many providers, not all telehealth COVID flexibilities were aligned with the Decemeber 31, 2024 expiration date in the CAA, 2023. In fact, many expired immediately after the PHE ended on May 11th; the waivers and flexibilities specific to telehealth are highlighted in this PDF. Additional information can be found in: CTeL’s “Federal PHE Ending May 11, 2023 Telehealth Compliance Audit Checklist and this End of the PHE check list created by PYA, and below

HHS Office for Civil Rights Announces the Expiration of COVID-19 Public Health Emergency HIPAA Notifications of Enforcement Discretion
In Early April, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announces that the Notifications of Enforcement Discretion issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act during the COVID-19 public health emergency would expire at 11:59 pm on May 11, 2023, due to the expiration of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
“OCR exercised HIPAA enforcement discretion throughout the COVID-19 public health emergency to support the health care sector and the public in responding to this pandemic,” said Melanie Fontes Rainer, OCR Director. “OCR is continuing to support the use of telehealth after the public health emergency by providing a transition period for health care providers to make any changes to their operations that are needed to provide telehealth in a private and secure manner in compliance with the HIPAA Rules.”
In 2020 and 2021, OCR published four Notifications of Enforcement Discretion in the Federal Register regarding how the Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Enforcement Rules (“HIPAA Rules”) would be applied to certain violations during the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency. These Notifications and the effective beginning and end dates are:
Emergency - PDF (“Telehealth Notification”), effective from March 17, 2020, to 11:59 pm May 11, 2023.
OCR is providing a 90-calendar day transition period for covered health care providers to come into compliance with the HIPAA Rules with respect to their provision of telehealth. The transition period will be in effect beginning on May 12, 2023 and will expire at 11:59 p.m. on August 9, 2023. OCR will continue to exercise its enforcement discretion and will not impose penalties on covered health care providers for noncompliance with the HIPAA Rules that occurs in connection with the good faith provision of telehealth during the 90-calendar day transition period. The Notice of Expiration of Certain Notifications of Enforcement Discretion Issued in Response to the COVID-19 Nationwide Public Health Emergency may be found at: https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-07824.pdf - PDF.

Controlled Substance Prescribing via Telehealth; DEA Updates
The Drug Enforcement Administration filed the rule on Tuesday, May 9th to extend telehealth flexibilities, which will take effect on Thursday when the COVID-19 public health emergency expires.
Any existing provider-patient telehealth relationship established before Nov. 11, 2023 then can continue through November 2024.
A timeline for when the DEA expects to make a final decision on the future of the policy remains unclear, but a senior agency official said they’re working to have clear regulations in place for patients before the extension expires.”
Read the full text of the Rule here, and a write up about what this means in practice, here.

Earlier this week, the Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP) is releasing its Summary of state telehealth policy changes for Spring. Additionally, we are also making available a summary chart showing where states stand on many key telehealth policies, as well as an infographic highlighting our key findings. The most current information in CCHP’s online policy finder tool may be exported for each state into a PDF document. Note that the review period for this report was January through March 2023. In some cases, after a state was reviewed by CCHP, it is possible that the state may have passed a significant piece of legislation or implemented an administrative policy change that CCHP may not have captured. In those instances, the changes will be reviewed and catalogued in the upcoming Fall 2023 edition of CCHP’s Summary Report. As in previous editions, information in the policy finder remains organized into three categories: Medicaid reimbursement, private payer laws and professional requirements.
Additionally, last year CCHP received funding from the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) to create an FQHC specific section on Medicaid fee-for-service policies, and we have since maintained that category within our policy finder. FQHCs have many unique rules that apply to them that sometimes affect their ability to utilize telehealth, such as the definition of a visit/encounter in the Medicaid program. The FQHC category takes these considerations into account and will help FQHCs to more easily navigate to the policies that impact them. COVID-19 is also included as a category in CCHP’s 50 State policy tool, however COVID policies are not included as part of the summary report’s findings. In instances where the state has made policies permanent, or extended policies for multiple years, CCHP has incorporated those policies into this report. Note that this will be CCHP’s final Spring edition of this report, as we will transition in 2024 to releasing one executive summary report in the Fall only, with three separate rounds of updates being made to each jurisdiction in the policy finder in the interim.

How to Maximize the Value & Sustainability of Your Telehealth Investment
The sudden spike in demand for telehealth meant practices needed to quickly adapt to new workflows, technology, and training. However, this is leading many to question whether these swiftly developed telehealth programs will be sustainable in the years to come.
The benefits of telemedicine have proven to be effective in not only patient outcomes but also in patient acquisition and retention rates, all of which have an impact on the bottom line. So, to ensure sustainability, virtual care delivery models need to scale and adapt to patient’s increasing expectations for telehealth.
Join this webinar and learn:
-How Geisinger was able to do the visits of 10 clinics with the cost of 1 clinic
-How Hospital Medicine Solutions has maximized the value of a hybrid care model
-How telehealth integration into a care delivery model can deliver cost savings in the post-pandemic environment
How to streamline, consolidate and support technology solutions for telehealth

With the rise of telehealth utilization in response to COVID-19 there has also been an increased interest in how telehealth vendors and practitioners protect and use health data.

While part of this discussion is related to the concerns over privacy and protection of reproductive health information, several recent actions taken by federal agencies have focused on the use of collected data for marketing purposes.
