$20 Billion Available in New Phase 3 Provider Relief Funding

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), is making $20 billion in new funding available to providers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic.

Under this Phase 3 General Distribution allocation, a large number of providers are eligible to receive funds, including:

• Providers who previously received, rejected or accepted a General Distribution Provider Relief Fund payment. Providers that have already received payments of approximately 2% of annual revenue from patient care may submit more information to become eligible for an additional payment.
• Behavioral Health providers, including those that previously received funding and new providers.
• Healthcare providers that began practicing January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020. This includes Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, dentists, assisted living facilities and behavioral health providers.

Providers can begin applying for funds on Monday, October 5, 2020 through November 6, 2020.
