The practice of medicine is highly regulated. While the MMS does not provide legal
advice to its members, we provide general resources on common legal and regulatory questions.
If you need legal advice, please consult a private attorney.
This resource summarizes the various wind down timelines for numerous legislative and regulatory flexibilities that were put in place to ease burdens of medical practice posed by COVID-19. Many of these flexibilities were tied to the Public Health
Emergency declarations, which are set to expire on May 11, and will be rescinded once those declarations come to an end.
