Program description:
This webinar is a must-attend event for all physicians and physician practices to stay informed about the end of the federal public health emergency (PHE), which takes effect on May 11.
Join Krieg DeVault attorneys Grant Achenbach, JD, and Brandon Shirley, JD, for a live webinar discussing the end of the federal PHE and what it means for physicians and physician practices. In this webinar, Achenbach and Shirley will provide an overview of the history of the federal and state PHEs and what the “new normal” will look like moving forward. As the PHE unwinds, physicians will need to navigate this new normal since some COVID-19 flexibilities were made permanent, others were extended temporarily, and other flexibilities will cease immediately.
