Based on current COVID-19 trends, the Department of Health and Human Services is planning for the federal PHE for COVID-19 to end on May 11, 2023. Once the PHE ends, the coverage and payment requirements will change. Under the FFCRA and the CARES Act, plans and issuers are not required to provide coverage for items and services related to diagnostic testing for COVID-19 that are furnished after the end of the PHE. If they provide such coverage, they may impose cost-sharing requirements, prior authorization or other medical management requirements for the items and services. Previously issued FAQs are available on the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Fact Sheets & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) webpage.   Back to Top         Thank you for subscribing to the IRS Newswire, an IRS e-mail service.
