Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),
through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), announced
that it will begin distributing $10 billion in a second round of high
impact COVID-19 area funding to hospitals starting next week.
Additionally, HHS announced that it is extending the Medicaid and CHIP
Provider Relief Fund distribution provider application deadline to apply to
August 3, 2020.
In June, HHS announced the opening of the application period
and plans to distribute approximately $15 billion to eligible providers
that participate in state Medicaid and CHIP programs who had not yet
received a payment from the $50 billion General Distribution. Since the
announcement on June 9, HHS has hosted a number of webinars targeted at
providers and provider organizations to answer questions and assist those
eligible through the application process. A fact sheet - PDF explaining the
application process has also been created to address frequently asked
questions.
