    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting emergency approval for a change to the CAHPS for MIPS survey, which will add a question about telehealth services used during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. This change aims to collect self-reported data from patients on their telehealth experiences to support the quality and performance assessments of healthcare providers. The new survey item will be used for informational purposes and not affect quality scoring or payments. Public comments on this proposed change are invited until April 9, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) wants to ask people about how they used phone or video doctor visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is to understand how these visits are going, but it won't change how doctors or hospitals get their scores or money.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is asking for public comments on an emergency information collection requirement. This relates to ensuring that airline passengers traveling from the United Kingdom to the United States show proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days before departure. The test must be a viral test, and passengers need to keep documentation of their negative results. Airlines will also be required to keep records of passengers' negative test attestations. The CDC wants feedback on the necessity, accuracy, and potential burden of this information collection.

    Simple Explanation

    The CDC wants to make sure that anyone flying from the UK to the US has a negative COVID-19 test before they leave. They're asking people and airlines to share their thoughts on whether this process is necessary, how hard it is to do, and if it’s clear enough.
