NMA Cares Act

As we remain on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, the priorities of the NMA and how we can best assist our membership is our highest priority. As you know, the Coronavirus Aid and Relief Economic Security Act (CARES) was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President on March 27, 2020. The Council on Medical Legislation has been working tirelessly to examine all of the provisions of the CARES Act so that our membership is able to take advantage of this 2 trillion-dollar relief package. The CML has carefully put together information
on the funding that is available to you as a physician and health professional. Hopefully, this Q&A fact sheet will be a valuable resource as you navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic.
