Announcement

REMINDER: LTSS Providers - Apply Now for Provisional Payments to Ease Your Cash Flow

Are you a long-term services and supports (LTSS) provider who is struggling to get paid for your services due to eligibility delays? Are you facing financial hardship or service disruption because of unpaid claims? If so, you may be eligible for a provisional payment from HCPF to help you stay afloat.

HCPF is offering short-term advances to LTSS providers who demonstrate the greatest need. These provisional payments are meant to mitigate the major financial stressors that some LTSS providers are experiencing, which are threatening their solvency or ability to provide service continuity. HCPF wants to ensure that our most vulnerable members continue receiving the support necessary within their communities.

The deadline to apply is March 8, 2024. You can read more about the eligibility criteria and the application process on the LTSS Provisional Provider Payments (3Ps) webpage.

We appreciate your dedication and commitment to providing quality LTSS to our members. We hope that this provisional payment program will help you overcome the challenges you are facing and ensure service continuity. Thank you for your partnership.
