CARES ACT PROVIDER RELIEF FUND FAQS

In the past several days, a number of questions regarding the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund have appeared. Many thanks to those of you who have raised these important questions. A prepared FAQ document provides answers to the top few questions and offers information on what to do if a provider has not received a Provider Relief Fund grant allocation. Below is that FAQ for ease of access:

What if I did not receive my payment?

Answer: Contact DHHS at HOSPITALCOVID19@hhs.gov. Email DHHS with: Company Name, Building Name, Certification Number (CCN) for the building. Click here for an explanation of a CCN and the buildings’ Tax Identification Number (TIN).

While the American Health Care Association (AHCA) recommends emailing DHHS the email above, DHHS has indicated that buildings/providers missed in round one will receive their allocations in round two. For providers who continue to have problems, DHHS has noted that a web-portal will be established to support those providers.

Additionally, questions have arisen about grant reporting. DHHS included a Terms and Conditions document in its announcement. That document is located here. A few folks have asked questions about detailed reporting requirements. That information is not yet available – AHCA is in dialogue with DHHS on these questions as well as others.
