To help providers manage the COVID-19 emergency, MITC is providing two easy-to-set up applications free of charge.

  • The existing offer to provide myCommunications free of charge has been extended to 6/30/2020
  • myMileage and Expenses is now available free of charge for 180 days

myCommunications helps providers maintain contact with their staff without relying on employees’ personal email addresses – very important right now. Download the fact sheet to learn more!

myMileage and Expenses allows staff to submit expense claims without having to come into the office. It also helps to make sure staff don’t suffer reimbursement delays for mileage, etc. – minimizes personal interactions. Download the fact sheet to learn more!

Unfortunately, MITC cannot provide the software without one-on-one training, as the surge in Software Requests would compromise our ability to respond at the level customers expect.

  • myCommunications one-on-one set up and training – $360.00 (3 hours).
  • myMileage and Expenses one-on-one set up and training – $360.00 (3 hours).

Early this morning, the Pennsylvania Medical Assistance Advisory Committee (MAAC) unanimously approved the following:

Resolution by the Pennsylvania Medical Assistance Advisory Committee (MAAC) Urging Governor Wolf to Develop Principles and Guidelines for Allocating Lifesaving Resources and MA Funding During COVID-19 Crisis

Recognizing that Pennsylvania will have limited hospital capacity to respond to the grim epidemiological projections associated with the COVID-19 virus:

The Medical Assistance Advisory Committee of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (MAAC) urges Governor Wolf to develop and release principles and guidelines (Guidelines) for how scarce lifesaving resources (e.g., ICU units, personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, and any emerging & recommended anti-viral pharmaceutical interventions) will be equitably allocated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guidelines and principles must ensure that when it comes to the allocation of life-saving treatment:

  • Patients are not discriminated against because of their Medical Assistance Insurance status; and
  • People with disabilities are not given lower priority because of pre-existing disabilities, even when those conditions require more scarce resources.

In developing guidelines for allocating lifesaving resources, we urge the Governor to consult with the Hospital Association of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Medical Society, the Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers, and provider and advocacy organizations representing older adults and people with disabilities, whose constituencies are represented among our membership.

Medical ethicists should also be included to help ensure an ethical framework, and the established guidelines should be messaged by the Governor and made available to health care providers and the public.

Furthermore, the MAAC resolves and urges to the Governor and Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) to utilize all of the additional funds received as a result of the enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) provision contained in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (HR 6201) and other Acts to provide for the care, services, and equipment necessary to meet the needs of Pennsylvania’s Medical Assistance participants and those providing their care and services.

The programs and initiatives in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act that was just passed by Congress are intended to assist business owners with whatever needs they have right now. When implemented, there will be many new resources available for small businesses, as well as certain nonprofits and other employers. This guide provides information about the major programs and initiatives that will soon be available from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to address these needs, as well as some additional tax provisions that are outside the scope of SBA.

Do you need:

  • Capital to cover the cost of retaining employees? Then the Paycheck Protection Program might be right for you.
  • A quick infusion of a smaller amount of cash to cover you right now? You might want to look into an Emergency Economic Injury Grant.
  • To ease your fears about keeping up with payments on your current or potential SBA loan? The Small Business Debt Relief Program could help.
  • Just some quality, free counseling to help you navigate this uncertain economic time? The resource partners might be your best bet.

This guide provides detailed information and Q&A regarding:

  • Paycheck Protection Program Loans;
  • Small Business Debt Relief Program;
  • Economic Injury Disaster Loans & Emergency Economic Injury Grants;
  • Small Business Counseling;
  • Small Business Contracting; and
  • Small Business Tax Provisions.
