Implications of Health Care Provisions for States in the CARES Act

Manatt Health and Georgetown’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms

On Thursday, April 16 State Health and Value Strategies hosted a webinar, Implications of Health Care Provisions for States in the CARES Act, on the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law on March 27. The CARES Act contains a number of health care related provisions and federal funding sources to support states as they continue to work tirelessly to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. It is critical—now more than ever—for states to understand the tools at their disposal to address the COVID-19 public health emergency.

During the webinar experts from Manatt Health and Georgetown’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms highlighted funding opportunities and conducted a deep dive on key provisions relevant to states included in the CARES Act. The webinar included a question and answer session during which webinar participants posed their questions to the experts on the line.
