- HHS Details New Provider Relief Fund Reporting Requirements for Physicians, Providers
The HHS released on June 11 details on reporting requirements for recipients of Provider Relief Fund (PRF) payments. This HHS announcement included improvements to the requirements, such as expanding the amount of time providers will have to report information, reducing burdens on smaller providers, and extending key deadlines for expending PRF payments for recipients.
The revised reporting requirements will be applicable to physicians and other providers who received one or more payments exceeding, in the aggregate, $10,000 during a single Payment Received Period from Provider Relief Fund General Distributions, Targeted Distributions, and/or Skilled Nursing Facility and Nursing Home Infection Control Distributions.
HHS published the full updated requirements on its website. Updates highlighted by the department include:
- The period of availability of funds is based on the date the payment is received (rather than requiring all payments be used by June 30, 2021, regardless of when they were received).
- Recipients are required to report for each Payment Received Period in which they received one or more payments exceeding, in the aggregate, $10,000 (rather than $10,000 cumulatively across all Provider Relief Fund payments).
- Recipients will have a 90-day period to complete reporting (rather than a 30-day reporting period).
- The Provider Relief Fund Reporting Portal will open for providers to start submitting information on July 1, 2021.
