HHS announced late last week that is has
updated its Provider Relief Fund (PRF) reporting requirements in response to feedback the agency received in the wake of its September 19 FAQ update. In response to concerns raised, HHS is amending the reporting
instructions to increase flexibility around how providers can apply PRF money toward lost revenues attributable to coronavirus.
After reimbursing healthcare related expenses attributable to coronavirus that were unreimbursed by other sources, providers may use remaining PRF funds to cover any lost revenue, measured as a negative change in year-over-year actual revenue from patient care related sources.
