This Medicare Watchdog Report is prepared for HCPro PROPELMedicare members by our Advisory Services team on a monthly basis. The purpose of this report is to notify Your Critical Access Hospital of federal regulatory developments potentially affecting Medicare coverage and reimbursement for a variety of healthcare settings.

Due to the current outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), we have created a section in member reports to group together all of the current CMS guidance related to COVID-19. This sample is up-to-date as of August 2020. We advise that all organizations monitor the CMS current emergencies page for the most current information.
