Summary
HHS has extended the deadline to August 3, 2020 for healthcare providers to apply for CARES Act Provider Relief Fund payments (approximately 2% of gross revenue) if they serve Medicaid/CHIP patients but didn't receive the original $50 billion General Distribution. This is a time-sensitive funding opportunity, not a billing policy change.
Action Required
By August 3, 2020: Practice administrator should immediately apply for CARES Act Provider Relief Fund at HHS enhanced provider relief fund portal if practice meets eligibility criteria (serves Medicaid/CHIP patients, didn't receive original General Distribution, provided patient care after January 31, 2020). Gather required documentation including federal tax returns and gross revenue records. Contact HHS Provider Support at 1-866-569-3522 with questions.
