HHS Expands Relief Eligibility, Updates Reporting Requirements

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced that the latest Provider Relief Fund (PRF) application period has been expanded to include provider applicants such as behavioral health providers, emergency medical service providers, and podiatric medicine & surgery service providers that have not yet received PRF distributions.

These providers and all Phase 3 applicants will have until 11:59 p.m. EST on November 6, 2020, to submit their applications for payment consideration. Additionally, in response to concerns raised HHS is amending the reporting instructions to increase flexibility around how providers can apply PRF money toward lost revenues attributable to coronavirus.
