FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR MILLIONS OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS NATIONWIDE
Up to 2% of patient revenue regardless of a previous disbursement.
Many health care providers are experiencing significant financial hardships in the COVID-19 pandemic. Congress provided $175 billion in relief funds to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to deliver financial relief to hospitals and other health care providers, including those on the front lines of the coronavirus response. Since March, HHS, through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), has been distributing the funds to various providers in phases to support their increased healthcare-related expenses or lost revenue that are attributable to COVID-19; and to reimburse claims for the testing and treatment of uninsured individuals diagnosed with COVID-19.
The latest phase of funding is now available through August 28, 2020. Visit this web page to learn more and get started with the application.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently notified providers in a COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document that, beginning August 17, 2020, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) will be resuming Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) medical review activities and audits. These audits had been placed on hold since March when the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) went into effect. The MACs will only be reviewing claims from before March 1, 2020 and will not be conducting Target, Probe, and Educate (TPE) audits (which consist of multiple rounds). Instead, single-phase audits will be conducted.
