For the convenience of our members as they work to ensure the well-being of individuals they support during the coronavirus outbreak, we list guidance issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on tools and flexibilities available within Medicaid. Note that these resources are also available on ANCOR COVID-19 Resource Center, along with more educational and state-specific content.
CMS issued a memo for all provider types that outlines the use of industrial respirators and facemasks if N95 respirators are not available. Also, guidance to use single room placement with door closed of COVID-positive residents.
