This has benefited the delivery of health care in many ways, but perhaps most notably, it has opened up many new avenues for patient choice and access to care.</p> <p>As states begin to lift their COVID-19 emergency waivers or let them expire, many of the telehealth and licensure flexibilities enacted at the start of the pandemic to ensure continuity and access to care for patients are also expiring. <strong>As such, the Alliance has created a chart outlining which states have lifted their COVID-19 emergency waivers, and how this has impacted telehealth and licensing flexibilities in each state.

The Secretary may issue <a href="https://www.cms.gov/files/document/summary-covid-19-emergency-declaration-waivers.pdf">blanket waivers</a>, or may approve state specific waivers. Waivers end no later than the termination of the emergency period. CMS released a <a href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/trump-administration-releases-covid-19-checklists-and-tools-accelerate-relief-state-medicaid-chip">checklist</a> for states to aid in the development of 1135 waivers requests.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.cms.gov/files/document/summary-covid-19-emergency-declaration-waivers.pdf">COVID-19 Emergency Declaration Blanket Waivers for Health Care Providers</a></strong></p> <p>Several states requested flexibility to incent greater use of telehealth through Medicaid Section 1135 Waivers during the pandemic. For example:</p> <ul> <li>IL, LA, NC, and WA requested CMS to allow providers to use non-HIPAA compliant telehealth modes from platforms like Facetime, WhatsApp, and Skype to facilitate visits.</li> <li>CA requested flexibility to make it easier for providers to care for people in their own homes by allowing telehealth and virtual/telephonic communications for covered State plan benefits, a Waiver of face-to-face encounters for FQHCs and Rural Health Clinics, and Reimbursement of virtual communication and e-consults for certain providers.</li> <li>MD requested flexibility so that Medicaid and Managed care enrollees could use telephones to receive care if they did not have an appropriate device.</li> <li>SD requested flexibility to allow Medicaid to pay for the same telehealth services that Medicare has been granted authority to pay for, including services furnished while a patient is at home.</li> </ul> <p>As of April 2020, CMS had approved 53 state waivers.
