On January 14, 2022, DHA sent a letter to the Delaware Department of Insurance seeking relief during the current COVID-19 crisis. Specifically, the letter asks for a 6-month reprieve from: 

• prior authorizations (particularly for patient transfers); 
• claim submission and appeal limits; 
• audits, prepayment reviews, recoupment actions, payment suspensions; and,
•  requests for itemized bills, medical record requests and other information. 
• The letter also seeks a six-month delay in state enforcement of the No Surprises Act. 

This request was also made directly to payers.
