Both the COVID-19 National Emergency and Public Health Emergency are set to expire on May 11, 2023. The Public Health Emergency expirations impact COVID-era accommodations and mandates.

If you enacted COVID-19 specific policies, now is a great time to review and revise them as necessary. Please contact your Encompass Human Capital Consultant for assistance if you would like to discuss specific policies.

These expirations will impact requirements for group health plans and health insurance issuers to provide free COVID-19 diagnostic testing and test-related services. We recommend checking in with your benefits broker to determine how this will impact your business specifically.
