Don't Miss Your Opportunity To Apply For The Provider Relief Fund


Don’t Wait - Apply Now!
 
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced additional distributions from the Provider Relief Fund targeted to eligible physicians that participate in the Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Programs.
 
The payment will be approximately 2% of reported gross revenue from patient care.
The deadline to apply was July 20, 2020 but has been extended to August 3, 2020 . Physicians should begin their application now . To qualify physicians must meet the following criteria:
 
  • No payment received from the original $50 billion General Distribution.
  • You do qualify even if you received Paycheck Protection Program or FEMA funds!
  • Billed Medicaid/CHIP for services between Jan. 1, 2018 – Dec. 31, 2019.
  • You do not need to be a “medical” provider to receive these funds.
  • Filed a federal income tax return for fiscal years 2017, 2018, or 2019; or be exempt from filing a return.
  • Provided patient care after January 31, 2020.
  • Not permanently ceased providing patient care directly, or indirectly; and
  • Have gross receipts or sales from providing care reported on Form 1040.
 
Not sure if you qualify? Apply now and find out!
 
There are several steps, and each must be completed before you can move to the next step.
Please note that the application currently requires a license number (this is separate from your Medicaid/CHIP ID), but HHS is working to fix this issue, so non-licensed providers should not let this requirement stop them from beginning the process. Start your application now!
 
Information about the application process can be found on the HHS website:
