Have you been listening to NAHU's weekly podcast? The Healthcare Happy Hour is one of the many ways we'r
e working to keep you informed. In case you missed it, here are our last tw
o episodes focused on COVID-19: Special Guest on the Paycheck Pr
otection Program (April 3): One major portion of the CARES Act made $35
0 billion in paycheck protection loans available to small businesses, estab
lishing the paycheck protection program, or PPP. NAHU's Marcy M. Buckner is
joined by Compliance Corner Committee member Annette Bechtold, who serves
as senior vice president of regulatory affairs and reform initiatives at On
eDigital, to dive into exactly how the PPP works and how you and your clien
ts can utilize it. NAHU Submits COVID-19 Recommendations t
o the Administration (April 10): NAHU's Marcy M. Buckner reviews the list of recommendations to
the Administration that NAHU submitted on Tuesday with the assistance of N
AHU's Compliance Corner Committee. In our suggestions to DOL, IRS, HHS and
CMS, we emphasized the importance of clarifying definitions used in regulat
ion and legislation, extensions on form filings and open enrollment periods
, flexibility for premium payments by employers and employees, and more. On this week's episode (April 17
), we will be taking a break from COVID-19 discussion to focus on a comment letter NAHU submitted t
o CMS in regard to the Contract Year 2021 and 2022 Medicare Advantage and P
art D Proposed Rule. NAHU's John Greene will be joined by Craig Ritter, own
er of Ritter Insurance Marketing and member of our Medicare FMO Council, to
