HHS Revises Reporting Requirements and Expands Relief Funding Eligibility

Department of Health & Human Services’ (HHS) October 22, 2020 press release, which updates existing relief fund reporting requirements and expands funding eligibility. As a result of negative feedback, HHS is amending the reporting instructions to increase flexibility as to how providers can apply relief funding to lost revenues attributable to coronavirus. Now, providers may use remaining funding to cover lost revenue, measured as “a negative change in year-over-year actual revenue from patient care related sources,” after reimbursing healthcare related expenses attributable to coronavirus that were unreimbursed by other sources.
