Bill overview
The COVID Health Care Provider Assurance Act of 2020 aims to provide increased financial support to physicians during the COVID-19 public health emergency. It adjusts Medicare payment rates for certain critical care services, such as ventilation management and intensive care procedures, by increasing relative value units and the anesthesia conversion factor by 20%. Additionally, the bill expands Medicare coverage to include specific critical care services related to COVID-19 treatment and ensures these services are paid at 100% of the charge, waiving the usual deductible.
