The COVID-19 pandemic will have a significant impact in all segments of healthcare for a prolonged period. As such, health plans have critical financial decisions to make in the upcoming months with limited data available and wide uncertainty on how the COVID-19 pandemic will transition toward the end of 2020 and into 2021.
