On December 14, HHS announced the distribution of approximately $9 billion in Provider Relief Fund (PRF) Phase 4 payments to health-care providers who have experienced revenue losses and expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 69,000 providers in all 50 states, Washington, DC, and eight territories, will receive Phase 4 payments. The average payments announced are as follows:
HHS will start making payments by the end of this week. Additionally, HHS has updated the Terms and Conditions for Phase 4 and ARP Rural payments to ensure relief funds are being used to address the financial impact of COVID-19. Recipients whose payment(s) exceed $10,000 are required to notify HHS of a merger with or acquisition of any other health-care provider. Providers who report a merger or acquisition may be more likely to be audited to ensure compliant use of funds.
HRSA is currently reviewing the remaining Phase 4 applications and will make the remainder of Phase 4 payments in 2022.
