Navigating Provider Relief Fund Payment

July 10, 2020

Access the on-demand webinar here.


The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act created, and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act augmented, a $175 billion Provider Relief Fund (PRF), to reimburse health care providers for certain health care related expenses or lost revenues attributable to the coronavirus. Outpatient safety-net providers, such as community mental health centers and federally qualified health centers, have received or are due to receive funding under several Provider Relief Fund allocations, including the $50 billion general distribution, the rural provider distribution, and the upcoming Medicaid/CHIP distribution.

In this webinar, presenters Ted Waters and Susannah Gopalan will review key terms and conditions of PRF funding, including questions such as how safety-net providers should identify COVID-related qualifying expenses and lost revenues, the timeframe over which the PRF funds can be used, and how providers can adhere to prohibitions on “balance billing” under the PRF program. We will also address questions concerning the amount of PRF distributions, the relationship among the various PRF allocations, and the procedures for attesting to the PRF terms and conditions and accepting or rejecting PRF funds. This webinar will not address Uninsured Relief Fund payments.

Target Audience

  • CEOs and Leadership of outpatient safety-net provider organizations, such as FQHCs and CMHCs
  • Finance Department Staff
