In summary, TMB’s guidance follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance and supporting guidelines from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) which calls for postponement of all non-urgent elective surgeries and procedures in inpatient and outpatient settings. TMB’s guidance is for the postponement of non-urgent elective surgeries and procedures until the end of the Governor’s Disaster Declaration or until the CDC guidelines change, whichever is earlier.
