What’s happening: On Feb. 4, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order that removed certain barriers to expedite relief for survivors of the Los Angeles fires. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has also extended audit-related administrative flexibilities due to the fire and has shared with CHA highlights of these flexibilities that may affect hospitals.
What else to know: The executive order extends deadlines for health care providers to submit requests to DHCS for scope of service changes. Additional details about these and the DHCS audit-related administrative flexibilities are outlined in this document.
