Public Health Emergency likely to continue beyond July 16

The current extension of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) is due to end on July 16. When it does end there are implications for Medicare, Medicaid and the CHIP program – for states, providers, and beneficiaries. However, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra committed to giving states and others 60 days’ notice if the PHE is not going to be renewed. Since May 16 passed with no notice, it is reasonable to expect that it will be renewed once again.
