ACE Alert, July 28, 2021, Volume 31

Extension of the Public Health Emergency

While this is not a surprise to anyone, it is something that you should have marked on the calendar. The new date to watch for will be October 18, 2021. This is important because it effects the rules on telehealth and the ability to file and be paid under office site of service 11 with the 95 modifier appended to the EM service.

The notice posted is as follows:

“The Secretary of Health & Human Services has exercise authority under Section 319 of the Public Health Service Act to extend the Public Health Emergency (PHE) another 90 days, starting July 20, 2021.”
