Under the Phase 3 General Distribution, which began accepting applicants on October 5, 2020, HHS invited providers that had already received funds to apply for additional funding that considers changes in patient care operating revenue and expenses caused by the coronavirus.
Successful applicants will receive a baseline payment of approximately 2% of annual revenue from patient care plus an add-on payment that considers changes in operating revenues and expenses from patient care, including expenses incurred related to coronavirus. All payment recipients will be required to attest to receiving the Phase 3 General Distribution payment and accept the associated Terms and Conditions.
HHS received feedback from many voicing concerns regarding this approach to permissible uses of funds. 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.
