The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) late last week extended the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) to mid-January, giving some 340B-eligible entities more time for immediate enrollment in the program without having to wait for the next calendar quarter, along with other 340B program flexibilities that HHS granted at the start of the pandemic.
In an Oct. 13 notice, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said he had extended the PHE for another 90 days “as a result of the continued consequences” of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the 11th extension of the emergency first declared on Jan. 31, 2020.
