NYCPS Launches New Webpage Dedicated to COVID-19
March 16, 2020
Due to the ongoing changes and developments surrounding COVID-19, NYCPS has launched a webpage dedicated to keeping you informed of important updates, alerts, and announcements regarding the virus. Please visit the page here and check back often, as we will continue to update it regularly.
Important Updates: COVID-19
March 12, 2020
NYCPS Events & Meetings
In order to ensure the health and safety of our members and due to current restrictions regarding COVID-19, NYCPS will be postponing all in-person events until further notice. At this time, we have every intention of rescheduling all events once restrictions have been lifted and it has been deemed safe to do so. We will make every effort to keep you informed of new developments as they arise, and will let you know once we have rescheduled dates.
NYS Office of Mental Health Guidelines
All updates from OMH are listed on their website here: https://omh.ny.gov/omhweb/guidance/
Emergency Federal Bill
In addition, Congress has passed an $8 billion emergency funding package to address the spread of COVID-19. Among other provisions, the bill allows for the secretary of Health and Human Services to temporarily lift restrictions on Medicare access to telehealth services, such as live videoconference consultations with doctors, which will potentially allow patients with mental health and substance use disorders who may be worried about contracting the virus to continue to receive treatment during this public health emergency. To read the APA's press release regarding the bill, click here.
Additional Resources
The NYC Department of Health (NYCDOH) is a local resource for Manhattan physicians on COVID-19. Please check their providers website here for information and resources.
For updates and recommendations on the virus, please visit the CDC's website here or the NYS Department of Health website here.
Please email us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns. Thank you and please stay safe!
