COVID-19 Reimbursement: Telehealth, Medicare, and CARES Act Funding for Providers

  • Registration Closed

COVID-19 Reimbursement: Telehealth, Medicare, and CARES Act Funding for Providers – Friday, April 10th, at 2:00pm Eastern Time

Please join EDPMA and EDPMA’s consultants from Hart Health Strategies on Friday, April 10th, at 2pm Eastern Time for a webinar about the rapidly-changing reimbursement landscape around the COVID-19 crisis. We know that new information is released daily and it is difficult to keep up. Some Medicare relief applies to hospitals, but not providers. And, as interim guidance is finalized, the government has often changed course, such as with telehealth coding. Further, the government is still finalizing how it will distribute COVID-19 funding to emergency physician groups. EDPMA wants to make sure you have access to our experts to understand the most recent information.

Presenters will include:

Shana Christrup, MPH, is the Vice President of Health Policy at Hart Health Strategies. She has been with Hart Health for over 11 years, focusing on legislative affairs. During her time on the Hill, Ms. Christrup was a lead negotiator with several of the key bills related to bioterrorism and pandemic response.
