HHS Updates Provider Relief Fund Guidance
Published on Fri Apr 09, 2021
Check out a number of new Provider Relief Fund frequently asked questions released April 1. For example: In response to a question about the timeframe in which providers must use funds, the Department of Health and Human Services says “funds must be expended no later than June 30, 2021” and “HHS will provide directions in the future about how to return unused funds.” The new FAQs don’t contain any bombshells, but “those responsible for the eventual submission of the use of PRF should remain aware of all changes,” advises consulting firm The Health Group in Morgantown, West Virginia. The 60-page FAQ set is at www.hhs.gov/sites
