Ah, yes – you are probably correct on needing a State request.

Thanks for the update…this is a great letter.

 

Katie – I wonder if the assistant supervision needs to come from the state level because every state has different requirements for this?

Great letter. Has there been any discussion about waiving the physical therapy assistant and COTA supervisions during this time?

 

Thanks for the update,

NAHC is collaborating with the hospital association on a letter to CMS – requesting more waivers that are needed during this pandemic. MHCA will be one of the signers of the attached letter.

 

I will also reach out to MHA, in hopes they will sign on also.
