Congress allocated funding to eligible health care providers to reimburse them for health care related expenses or lost revenue attributed to COVID-19.
Detailed reporting instructions will be released by Aug. 17 to provide direction on reporting obligations applicable to any provider that received a payment from the following CARES Act/PRF distributions.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is administering the distribution of payments under the PRF program, which was funded through appropriations in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act.
Each recipient of a payment from the PRF that used any part of that payment agreed to a set of Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) which, among other obligations, require each recipient to submit reports to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
