PROVIDER RELIEF FUND FAQs
The Health & Human Services (HHS) has issued a “frequently asked questions” guidance document for physicians who don’t file cost reports to complete the portal application. Even physicians who have already received a payment from the Provider Relief Fund can and should still apply if they do not file cost reports. As summarized by the HFMA, the announcement revealed that HHS is using the additional $20 billion it started paying out April 24 to adjust what facilities and providers receive so that the entire $50 billion distribution is based on the facility’s/provider’s portion of net patient service revenue relative to the national total. HHS is using $2.5 trillion as the denominator so the payment calculation for the total $50B “General Distribution” is: (Individual Provider 2018 Revenue/$2.5 Trillion) X $50 Billion = Expected General Distribution.
