I extracted from Biden’s “Action Plan” (Requiring All Employers with 100+ Employees to Ensure their Workers are Vaccinated or Tested Weekly) and the State mandate (Colorado Board of Health Approves Vaccine Mandate for Licensed Healthcare Facilities)
Federal: "Medical practices" are not specifically called out with "hospitals, dialysis facilities, ambulatory surgical settings, and home health agencies".
Federal: "These requirements will apply to approximately 50,000 providers", apparently excluding medical group practices.
Federal: Extends to "staff who are not involved in direct patient care".
State: “Notably, the Board does not have authority over individual health care practitioners or staff, primary care offices, or urgent care locations.”
It seems there's a clear distinction between "services" and "facilities" with the mandate focused on "facilities".
My question: are group medical practices with less than 100 employees excluded from the mandate?
My response: group medical practices . . . at least those with less than 100 FTEs, are exempt.
What’s your response?
Thanks!
