TO: All Providers
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that the federal Provider
Relief Fund portal has been reopened for eligible providers to submit their application. The deadline is now
extended to August 28, 2020.
Examples of eligible Medicare/Medicaid/CHIP/dental providers
include:
· Providers who did
not receive an initial payment that totals approximately two 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 two
percent of their reported total revenue from patient care. The deadline
for applying for funds is August 28, 2020.
