HHS FUND DISTRIBUTION TO MEDICARE PROVIDERS
 
The Department of Health and Human Services partnered with UnitedHealth to deliver a portion of the $100B stimulus relief funds from the recent CARES Act. The funds will be distributed over the next two weeks, and some groups have started to see funds hit today. If your medical group is a Medicare provider, check your bank account to see if you have received ACH funds from Optum Bank with "HHSPAYMENT" as the payment description. For more info visit hhs.gov/providerrelief  .
 
These funds are not a loan and will not need to be repaid. Note that as  a condition of receiving these funds, providers must agree not to seek collection of out-of-pocket payments from a COVID-19 patient that are greater than what the patient would have otherwise been required to pay if the care had been provided by an in-network provider.
