The hospital lobby is asking CMS to extend the deadline until the end of the public health emergency. 

The hospital lobby said the provider relief funds have been a lifeline for hospitals and health systems and “in many cases, ensured they are able to keep their doors open.”

The AHA argues that while COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have fallen from the peak, they are still significant, and hospitals continue to incur expenses related to the pandemic. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
