美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）通过两党共同支持的《冠状病毒援助、救济与经济安全法案》（Coronavirus Aid, Relief, & Economic Security Act，简称CARES法案）、《薪资保护计划与医疗保健增强法案》（Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act，简称PPPHCEA）以及《冠状病毒应对与救济追加拨款法案》（Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act，简称CRRSA法案），为抗击2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的医疗服务提供者提供支持。上述三项法案共计拨款1780亿美元，用于向新冠疫情应对一线的医院及其他医疗服务提供者发放救济资金。该笔资金可用于覆盖与新冠疫情相关的医疗开支或因疫情产生的收入损失，同时确保无医保的美国民众能够获得新冠治疗服务。美国卫生与公众服务部正发放此项医疗救助基金（Provider Relief Fund，简称PRF）款项，且该类款项无需偿还。

该部门根据符合资质的医疗服务提供者的净报销金额，划拨了500亿美元的PRF款项，用于向受新冠疫情影响的联邦医疗保险（Medicare）机构及服务提供者进行通用分配。美国卫生与公众服务部还向众多其他类型的医疗服务提供者发放了其他PRF款项，相关分配的更多信息可查阅以下链接：https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/cares-act-provider-relief-fund/data/index.html
