All recipients of Provider Relief Fund (PRF) payments must comply with the reporting requirements described in the Terms and Conditions and specified in directions issued by the Secretary. Currently, information on this page is for recipients of Provider Relief Fund payments exceeding $10,000 in aggregate with some exclusions as denoted below.
Update: New Provider Relief Fund reporting requirements* were issued on January 15, 2021 in accordance with the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021. In response to stakeholder feedback, HHS is currently reviewing this guidance and Provider Relief Fund reporting timelines. We will post any updates on this website as soon as they are available. We continue to encourage recipients of $10,000 or more in aggregate Provider Relief Fund payments to register in the Provider Relief Fund Reporting Portal.
These reporting requirements do not apply to recipients of funds from:
- Nursing Home Infection Control distribution. If you received payment from the Nursing Home Infection Control distribution, you should still register in the PRF Reporting Portal.
- Rural Health Clinic Testing distribution. If your only PRF payment was the Rural Health Clinic Testing Distribution, you should not register in the PRF Reporting Portal. For information about the Rural Health Clinic Testing reporting requirements, contact [email protected] and learn more at the Rural Health Clinic Testing website.
- HRSA’s COVID-19 Claims Reimbursement to Health Care Providers and Facilities for Testing, Treatment, and Vaccine Administration for the Uninsured Program.
