The Health Resources and Services Administration has released another round of Provider Relief Fund payments, this time more than $1.75 billion to 3,680 providers. “With this disbursement, HRSA has distributed approximately $13.5 billion from the Provider Relief Fund to nearly 86,000 and nearly $7.5 billion in American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural payments to more than 44,000 providers since November 2021,” HRSA says.
“Health care providers have been tireless in protecting their communities and working to maintain access to health services during the pandemic,” HRSA Administrator Carole Johnson says in the release. “Provider Relief Fund resources continue to make it possible for providers to recruit and retain key personnel, implement safety measures, and keep their doors open to care for their patients.”
