While you're waiting for your piece of the $100 billion emergency fund that's part of the COVID-19 stimulus bill, you may want to consider an expanded advanced payment plan offered by CMS, as well as loans offered by the Small Business Administration (SBA).
 

In the time it takes to make a phone call, you can gain temporary billing privileges during the COVID-19 emergency that will allow your providers to begin treating Medicare patients almost immediately.

 

Citing the COVID-19 crisis, CMS announced some relief for quality reporting and data submission related to the Quality Payment Program (QPP), the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and the Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).

In an effort to handle the COVID-19 crisis that's showing signs of straining health care resources and supplies, CMS issued a memo to providers instructing them to delay elective surgeries and non-essential medical and dental procedures.
 
You’ll find immediate opportunity to provide virtual visits to patients enrolled in Medicare plans as CMS seeks to facilitate screening and treatment of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases through telehealth services.
