HHS Provider Relief Fund

HHS is providing support to healthcare providers fighting the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic through the bipartisan Coronavirus Aid, Relief, & Economic Security (CARES) Act; the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (PPPHCEA); and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, which provide a total of $178 billion for relief funds to hospitals and other healthcare providers on the front lines of the COVID-19 response. This funding supports healthcare-related expenses or lost revenue attributable to COVID-19 and ensures uninsured Americans can get treatment for COVID-19. HHS is distributing this Provider Relief Fund (PRF) money and these payments do not need to be repaid.

The Department allocated $50 billion in PRF payments for general distribution to Medicare facilities and providers impacted by COVID-19, based on eligible providers' net reimbursement. HHS has made other PRF distributions to a wide array of health care providers and more information on those distributions can be found here: https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/cares-act-provider-relief-fund/data/index.html

美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）正通过两党合作的冠状病毒援助、救济与经济安全法案（CARES Act）、工资保护计划及医疗保健增强法案（PPPHCEA）以及冠状病毒应对与救济补充拨款法案（CRRSA Act）为与冠状病毒疾病2019（COVID-19）疫情抗争的医疗保健提供者提供支持；这些法案共拨款1780亿美元作为救济资金，用以资助处于COVID-19疫情响应第一线的医院及其他医疗保健提供者。此笔资金支持与COVID-19相关的医疗费用或因COVID-19而造成的收入损失，并确保无保险的美国公民能够获得COVID-19的治疗。HHS正在分配这笔医疗保健提供者救济基金（PRF）的资金，并且这些支付无需偿还。部门已将500亿美元分配至PRF支付，用于对受COVID-19影响的医疗保险设施和提供者的普遍分发，分配依据的是符合资格的提供者的净补偿。HHS还对广泛的医疗保健提供者进行了其他PRF分配，更多关于这些分配的信息可以在此处找到：https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/cares-act-provider-relief-fund/data/index.html
