Dear RHC Community,
On November 4, 2021, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published their federal vaccine mandate interim final rule, mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for employees in a wide array of health care facilities, including RHCs.
We encourage you to join us for a webinar detailing the CMS Vaccine Mandate on Wednesday, December 8th, 2021, at 2 PM ET.
Originally intended to go into effect on December 6, the CMS mandate is currently blocked nationwide due to legal challenges.
This webinar will review the mandate as written, update RHCs on the status of the various court cases, and explain the required update to RHC policies and procedures to account for these new Conditions of Participation, if the mandate is ruled as allowed to go into effect. NARHC has already published a sample template of the vaccine mandate P&P which you can find here.
RHCs can submit questions during registration or ask them live during the webinar.
You must register in advance for the Free Webinar!
Date: Wednesday, December 8th, 2 PM Eastern
Speakers:
Nathan Baugh, Director of Government Affairs
Sarah Hohman, Deputy Director of Government Affairs
