Important: Filing Deadline for CARES Act Provider Relief Fund – Sunday, September 13, 2020

The Provider Relief Fund supports healthcare providers in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (PPPCHE), the federal government has allocated $175 billion in payments to be distributed through the Provider Relief Fund (PRF).

Qualified providers of health care, services, and support may receive Provider Relief Fund payments for healthcare-related expenses or lost revenue due to COVID-19. Separately, the COVID-19 Uninsured Program reimburses providers for testing and treating uninsured individuals with COVID-19. The deadline to apply for Phase 2 General Distribution Funding is this Sunday, September 13, 2020.

These distributions do not need to be repaid to the US government, assuming providers comply with the terms and conditions.
