Under Section 1135 or 1812(f) of the Social Security Act, CMS can issue several blanket waivers
when there's a disaster or emergency. Blanket waivers prevent gaps in the access to care for
beneficiaries affected by the emergency.
When a blanket waiver is issued, providers don't have to apply for an individual waiver. If there's no
blanket waiver, providers can ask for an individual Section 1135 waiver.

Help Tooltips
Who are you?
This information helps CMS understand who you are so we can better assist you.

What would you like to do?
Choose the applicable option below.

I want to submit a waiver / flexibility request option
When there’s a disaster or emergency, waivers and flexibilities help health care facilities
give timely care to as many people who’ve been affected as possible. This means we’re helping
States, Federal Districts and U.S. territories to make sure people with Medicare and/or Medicaid
continue to have access to care.
“Waiver” refers to a waiver or modification of a statutory requirement of the Social Security Act (Act)
or its implementing regulations that may be waived or modified under the authority of § 1135 of the
Act or § 1812(f). A “flexibility” is an agency policy or procedure that can be adjusted under current
authority – and generally speaking, can be adjusted without reprogramming CMS’s systems. CMS
will implement these waivers and flexibilities as necessary and appropriate to accommodate the needs of those
impacted by an emergency or disaster.

I want to submit a waiver / flexibility request option
When there’s a disaster or emergency, waivers and flexibilities help health care facilities
give timely care to as many people who’ve been affected as possible. This means we’re helping
States, Federal Districts and U.S. territories to make sure people with Medicare and/or Medicaid

“Waiver” refers to a waiver or modification of a statutory requirement of the Social Security Act (Act)
or its implementing regulations that may be waived or modified under the authority of § 1135 of the
Act or § 1812(f). A “flexibility” is an agency policy or procedure that can be adjusted under current
authority – and generally speaking, can be adjusted without reprogramming CMS’s systems. CMS
will implement these waivers and flexibilities as necessary and appropriate to accommodate the needs of those
impacted by an emergency or disaster.

Under Section 1135 or 1812(f) of the Social Security Act, CMS can issue several blanket waivers
when there's a disaster or emergency. Blanket waivers prevent gaps in the access to care for
beneficiaries affected by the emergency.
When a blanket waiver is issued, providers don't have to apply for an individual waiver. If there's no
blanket waiver, providers can ask for an individual Section 1135 waiver.

Under Section 1135 or 1812(f) of the Social Security Act, CMS can issue several blanket waivers
when there's a disaster or emergency. Blanket waivers prevent gaps in the access to care for
beneficiaries affected by the emergency.
When a blanket waiver is issued, providers don't have to apply for an individual waiver. If there's no
blanket waiver, providers can ask for an individual Section 1135 waiver.

Help Tooltips
Who are you?
This information helps CMS understand who you are so we can better assist you.

What would you like to do?
Choose the applicable option below.

I want to submit a waiver / flexibility request option
When there’s a disaster or emergency, waivers and flexibilities help health care facilities
give timely care to as many people who’ve been affected as possible. This means we’re helping
States, Federal Districts and U.S. territories to make sure people with Medicare and/or Medicaid
continue to have access to care.
“Waiver” refers to a waiver or modification of a statutory requirement of the Social Security Act (Act)
or its implementing regulations that may be waived or modified under the authority of § 1135 of the
Act or § 1812(f). A “flexibility” is an agency policy or procedure that can be adjusted under current
authority – and generally speaking, can be adjusted without reprogramming CMS’s systems. CMS
will implement these waivers and flexibilities as necessary and appropriate to accommodate the needs of those
impacted by an emergency or disaster.

I want to submit an inquiry request option
When there’s a disaster or emergency, waivers and flexibilities help health care facilities give timely care to as many
