At the request of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services:
“Until further notice it is recommended that patient
engagement and advocacy activities such as peer mentoring,
hosting Lobby Days, attending support groups, and
participating in QAPI meetings be done so virtually, over
the telephone, online or thru another distant, non-person
to person format to limit patient exposure risk.”
