Nursing Community Coalition Urges CMS to Extend, Make Permanent COVID-19 Blanket Waivers
The Nursing Community Coalition supports the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) swift and impactful actions to provide regulatory relief for healthcare providers during the current public health emergency (PHE). Given the President’s recent Executive Order on Regulatory Relief to Support Economic Recovery, and as CMS reviews the regulatory response, the Nursing Community Coalition urges CMS to continue to remove barriers to practice, encourage innovation, and ensure that patients have access to the highest quality nursing care by extending, and making permanent, waivers beyond this PHE.
