HHS Releases Provider Relief Fund Reporting Requirements

This week, HHS released detailed guidance, as well as a summary, on reporting required for Provider Relief Funding (PRF) recipients and delayed the opening of the reporting system to January 15, 2021. These requirements do not apply to the Nursing Home Infection Control, Rural Health Clinic Testing, or the HRSA Uninsured Program funding streams.

Below are key features of the new guidance, though HHS has said that additional guidance will be forthcoming through HHS webinars and FAQ guidance, as needed, prior to the reporting deadlines.

Key Deadlines

The new guidance, issued September 19, 2020, is intended to supplement HHS's July 20, 2020 reporting guidance (updated August 14, 2020) but has also created a few inconsistencies.
