HHS announced this week that eligible providers can submit an application for funds from the Provider Relief Fund. Examples of eligible Medicare/Medicaid/CHIP/dental providers include:
- Providers who did not receive an initial payment that totals approximately 2 percent of their annual patient revenue
- Providers who did receive an initial payment, but missed the June 3rd deadline to submit their revenue information
- Providers who were ineligible for prior General Distribution funds due to a change in ownership or because they did not have Medicare fee-for-service revenue in 2019
- Providers who previously received Phase 1 General Distribution payment(s), but rejected and returned the funds and are now interested in reapplying.
All eligible providers will only receive funding of up to 2 percent of their reported total revenue from patient care. The deadline for applying for funds is August 28, 2020.
