Presented by Ron Manderscheid (Executive Director, National Association of County Behavioral Health and Developmental Disability Directors) and Greg Moore (Chair, Dickinson Wright’s Behavioral Health Care Practice Group and Founding Member of AVANT Consulting, LLC)

What: With many changes affecting American businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, it can be difficult to keep up. Complex new laws, programs and regulatory changes have raised questions and concerns amongst healthcare providers trying to continue necessary services for their customers while staying ahead of the rapidly evolving environment.

New obligations to employees under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and/or unemployment; opportunities for business relief like the Paycheck Protection Program, Economic Injury Disaster Loan, and grant programs from SAMHSA, the CDC and others; and regulatory relaxation under the 1135 Waiver during Federal and State emergency declarations – including telehealth and payment for services – have left employers/providers scrambling for the latest information.

This webinar will explore:

  • Frequent questions and concerns related to the new laws, programs and regulatory changes;
  • General themes related to how States have used the 1135 waiver, and implications for providers;
  • An overview of National and State resources and how they can be accessed by providers.

Who Should Attend?
Healthcare leaders involved in organizational planning and decision-making.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand key employer obligations, business opportunities and regulatory changes impacting providers through COVID-19.
  • Gain awareness of 1135 waiver themes across states and how this may impact your healthcare / behavioral health organization.
  • Learn new resources available to support you and how to access them.
