Provider Relief Payments & Portal Attestation


Volume 9 - May 15, 2020

Provider Relief Fund Attestation Requirements
By Kristyn Dice, V2V Management Solutions, Inc.V2V Management Solutions, Inc.


As you know the government provided financial relief to health care organizations in the form of $50 billion in grants through the CARES Act. Per HHS "$50 billion of the Provider Relief Fund is allocated for general distribution to Medicare facilities and providers impacted by COVID-19, based on eligible providers' net patient revenue. The initial $30 billion was distributed between April 10 and April 17, and the remaining $20 billion is being distributed beginning Friday, April 24."  Many of our clients and colleagues have been asking for direction on how to either access these funds if they didn't get an automatic distribution or attest for it if they did. Our Payer Enrollment Team Lead, Kristyn Dice, has provided instructions on attestations within this newsletter. If you haven't yet received any of the HHS Provider Relief Funds the below link takes you to the HHS portal that allows you to provide your financial information to determine eligibility and amounts available.

CARES Provider Relief Fund Payment Portal

In addition to the Provider Relief Fund the CARES Act made available designated funds for treatment of uninsured patients with COVID. Per HHS "Providers who have conducted COVID-19 testing or provided treatment for uninsured COVID-19 individuals on or after February 4, 2020 may use this portal to request claims reimbursement." The link is below.

COVID-19 Uninsured Program Portal

For more information on the details of the relief fund distributions you can read the full report from HHS at:
https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/cares-act-provider-relief-fund/index.html

If you have already received a relief fund payment the information you need to attest and the steps required to conduct the attestation have been compiled below as a resource for you.

Reminder: Providers who have been allocated a payment must use this portal to sign an attestation confirming receipt of the funds and agree to the terms and conditions within 45 days of payment.

CARES Act Provider Relief Fund Payment Portal

  • This portal is only for organizations who have already received payments through the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund. Before you begin this process, your organization will need to attest to each payment associated with your billing Taxpayer Identification Number(s).
  • Any person authorized by the provider organization may complete this form. We would recommend that it be completed by an organization’s CFO or accounting professional.

Information You will Need

  • Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) that has received prior Provider Relief Fund payments
  • TINs of subsidiary organizations that have received prior Provider Relief Funds but do not file separate tax forms (i.e., subsidiary organizations that are accounted for in the parent organization’s tax filing)
  • Amount of payments received
  • Relief Fund payment transaction numbers / check numbers
  • A copy of your most recently filed tax forms - See Appendix A: Federal Tax Classification Matrix

“Knowing it is time to reshape your current reality is the first step to transformation. When we contacted V2V, our goal was to innovate our clinic network from all aspects; integration, structure, financial controls and leadership. Michelle and her team at V2V helped us develop a well-defined plan. In transformational management one hears Quality times Acceptance equals Results (Q*A = R). Along with the quality of recommendations, V2V worked diligently to garner both input and acceptance from providers and staff. This is what I believe will ensure long-term, sustainable success for our clinics in a very uncertain time..”
