Next Provider Relief Fund Reporting Period Is Now Open
If you received more than $10,000 in HHS Provider Relief Fund (PRF) payments for either the General or Targeted distributions between Jan. 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021 — and used those funds for your agency — it’s time to attest for Reporting Period 3 (RP3). And remember, all payments from RP3 must have been used by the June 30, 2022 deadline. “Providers who accepted PRF payment(s) agreed to the Terms and Conditions of the program which included a requirement to report on the use of the funds,” notes HHS Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) in online guidance. “Reporting is an important process in understanding how the program had an impact nationwide. Providers who do not submit a completed report are considered non-compliant with the Terms and Conditions,” HRSA warns. The PRF portal for RP3 opened on July 1 and will run through Sept. 30, 2022. Review the particulars with a link to attest at www.hrsa.gov/provider-relief/reporting-auditing.
