COVID-19

​Mark Parkinson, AHCA/NCAL president & chief executive officer, sends an important message to providers everywhere: now is a time to take action to protect the sector.



As a new COVID-19 strain emerges, the workforce shortage remains, and new proposed legislation and payment rules circulate, Parkinson urges providers to be at the ready in two primary ways:

  1. Attend this year's AHCA/NCAL Congressional Briefing event to share critical messages with Members of Congress

  2. Be ready to leave comments on the Proposed Rule later this year.

Stay tuned to Provider for the latest information on these efforts.
