AHCA Offers Office Hours: Discussing Interim Vaccine Mandate and Injuction

On Monday, December 13 at 4 pm ET AHCA will be offering office hours to discuss recent updates on the CMS Interim Final Rule  (IFR) on Vaccine Mandates provided by Sarah Skubas, Attorney at Law, Jackson Lewis, along with AHCA/NCAL Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Gifford. The update will be followed by a question and answer session where attendee questions on vaccine mandates will be addressed.

Registration is limited, and a recording will be available following the webinar. Please contact educate@ahca.org with any registration issues or questions.

CMS recently released a
QSO memo advising state survey agencies they should not enforce the IFR regarding the vaccine mandate or requirements for policies and procedures in certified Medicare/Medicaid providers and suppliers while there are court-ordered injunctions in place pending additional clarity from the courts.

AHCA/NCAL
recommends members continue to encourage staff to get COVID-19 vaccines and prepare for a vaccine mandate so that if the government's arguments prevail, policies and procedures can be quickly implemented. We will provide additional details as soon as anything changes.
