Comment:

On July 19, 2021, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra signed a renewal of the COVID-19 national public health emergency declaration. This is the third renewal of the declaration and extends the emergency through October 17, 2021. Because many coverage policies are tied to the national emergency declaration, this will impact claims, particularly for telehealth treatment.
