Provider Relief Fund General and Targeted Distribution
Post-Payment Notice of Reporting Requirements
June 11, 2021
Purpose
The purpose of this Notice is to inform the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Provider
Relief Fund (PRF) recipients of the data elements that they are required to report as part of the post-payment
reporting process. Recipients who received one or more payments exceeding $10,000 in the aggregate
during a Payment Received Period are required to report in each applicable Reporting Time Period. This
Notice supersedes the Post-Payment Notice of Reporting Requirements released on January 15, 2021. The
reporting requirements outlined in this Notice apply to all past and future PRF payments made under the
legal authorities outlined in the section Overview of Legal Requirements for Reporting.
These reporting requirements apply to PRF General and Targeted Distributions (including the Skilled
Nursing Facilities (SNF) and Nursing Home Infection Control Distribution)1 . These reporting requirements
do not apply to the Rural Health Clinic COVID-19 Testing Program2 or claims reimbursements from the
HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program and the HRSA COVID-19 Coverage Assistance Fund (CAF).
Overview of Legal Requirements for Reporting
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136), the Paycheck Protection
Program (PPP) and Health Care Enhancement Act (P.L. 116-139), and the Coronavirus Response and Relief
Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act (Division M of P.L. 116-260) appropriated funds to reimburse
eligible health care providers for health care-related expenses or lost revenues attributable to coronavirus.
These funds were or will be distributed by HRSA through the PRF program. Recipients of these funds agreed
to Terms and Conditions, which require compliance with reporting requirements as specified by the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (HHS). The reporting requirements outlined in this Notice apply to all past
and future PRF payments made under the legal authorities outlined in this paragraph.
Period of Availability of Funds
The period of availability of funds applies to all past and future PRF payments made under the legal
authorities outlined in the section Overview of Legal Requirements for Reporting.
PRF recipients must only use payments for eligible expenses including services rendered, and lost revenues
during the period of availability, as outlined in Table 1 below. The period of availability of funds is based on
the date the payment is received. The payment is received on the deposit date for automated clearing house
(ACH) payments or the check cashed date. Providers must follow their basis of accounting (e.g. cash, accrual)
to determine expenses.

1

The SNF and Nursing Home Infection Control Distributions are considered Targeted Distribution payments. The SNF
and Nursing Home Infection Control Distributions include Quality Incentive Program (QIP) payments. Previous PostPayment Notices of Reporting Requirements did not include information regarding the SNF and Nursing Home Infection
Control Distributions.

PRF recipients may use payments for eligible expenses incurred prior to receipt of those payments (i.e., preaward costs) so long as they are to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. However, HRSA expects
that it would be highly unusual for providers to have incurred eligible expenses prior to January 1, 2020.
Reporting Time Periods
The reporting time periods apply to all past and future PRF payments made under the legal authorities
outlined in the section Overview of Legal Requirements for Reporting.
Recipients who received one or more payments exceeding $10,000 in the aggregate during a Payment
Received Period are required to report in each applicable Reporting Time Period as indicated in Table 2.
Reporting must be completed and submitted to HRSA by the last date of the reporting time period. PRF
recipients that do not report within the respective reporting time period are out of compliance with payment
Terms and Conditions and may be subject to recoupment.

Responsibility for Reporting
For the purposes of registration and reporting in the PRF Reporting Portal, the Reporting Entity is the entity
that registers its Tax Identification Number (TIN) and reports on payments received by that TIN and/or its
subsidiary TINs. The responsibility for reporting applies to all past and future PRF payments made under the
legal authorities outlined in the section Overview of Legal Requirements for Reporting.
Type of PRF recipient(s) 3

Definition

General Distribution recipient that received
payment in Phase 1 only

Entity that received Phase 1 General
Distribution payments totaling more than
$10,000 in aggregate in a Payment Received Period.
Entity [at the TIN level] that received one or more
General Distribution payments totaling more than
$10,000 in aggregate in a Payment Received
Period.
Entity that meets the following three criteria:
1. is the parent of one or more subsidiary billing
TINs that received General Distribution
payments in Phases 1 to 3,
2. has associated providers that were providing
diagnoses, testing, or treatment for
individuals with possible or actual cases of
COVID-19 on or after January 31, 2020, and
3. can otherwise attest to the Terms and
Conditions.
Entity (at the TIN level) that received Targeted
Distribution payments totaling more than $10,000
in a Payment Received Period.

General Distribution recipient with no
parent organization or subsidiaries except
PRF recipients that received Phase 1
General Distributions only
General Distribution recipient with one or more
subsidiaries that received payments in Phases 1
to 3

Targeted Distribution recipient (includes SNF
and Nursing Home Infection Control
Distribution payments)

A parent entity may report on its subsidiaries’ General Distribution payments regardless of whether the
subsidiary TINs received the General Distribution payments directly from HRSA or whether General
Distribution payments were transferred to them by the parent entity. The parent entity may report on these
General Distribution payments regardless of whether the parent or the subsidiary attested to the Terms and
Conditions.
The original recipient of a Targeted Distribution payment is always the Reporting Entity. A parent entity

Summaries of General Distribution and Targeted Distribution funding are available on the PRF website at
https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/cares-act-provider-relief-fund/general-information/index.html.

3

may not report on its subsidiaries’ Targeted Distribution payments. The original recipient of a Targeted
Distribution must report on the use of funds in accordance with the CRRSA Act. This is required regardless
of whether the parent or subsidiary received the payment or whether that original recipient subsequently
transferred the payment. A Reporting Entity that is a subsidiary must indicate the payment amount of any of
the Targeted Distributions it received that were transferred to/by the parent entity, if applicable. Transferred
Targeted Distribution payments face an increased likelihood of an audit by HRSA.
Steps for Reporting on Use of Funds
Reporting entities will report on their use of funds using their normal basis of accounting (e.g. cash basis,
accrual basis). Reporting Entities will submit consolidated reports. The reporting requirements outlined in
this section apply to all past and future PRF payments made under the legal authorities outlined in the section
Overview of Legal Requirements for Reporting.
Recipients will report data in the following order:
1) Interest Earned on PRF Payment(s)
For Reporting Entities that held the PRF payment(s) in an interest-bearing account, the dollar value of
interest earned on those PRF payment(s) must be reported. The total reportable use of PRF payments
will include the interest earned on those PRF payments. Interest earned on SNF and Nursing Home
Infection Control Distribution payments and interest earned on other PRF payments will be reported
separately.
2) Other Assistance Received
The Reporting Entity will report on other assistance received by quarter during the period of
availability. Other Assistance Received is further defined within the Data Elements section below. If
the Reporting Entity is reporting on behalf of subsidiaries, the assistance received for each category
must be aggregated across each of the subsidiaries included in the report.
3) Use of SNF and Nursing Home Infection Control Distribution Payments (if applicable)
The Reporting Entity will report on infection control expenses paid for with payments received
through the SNF and Nursing Home Infection Control Distributions (including any interest earned), if
the entity received funds from one of these Targeted Distributions. Expenses must be those that
another source has not reimbursed and is not obligated to reimburse. Expense categories will include
General and Administrative and/or other Health Care-Related Expenses by CY quarter (further
defined within the Data Elements section below).
4) Use of General and Other Targeted Distribution Payments
The Reporting Entity will report on expenses paid for with payments received through the General
and Targeted Distribution payments (excluding SNF and Nursing Home Infection Control
Distribution payments). Expenses must be those that another source has not reimbursed and is not
obligated to reimburse. Expense categories will include General and Administrative and/or other
Health Care-Related Expenses by CY quarter (further defined within the Data Elements section
below). Unreimbursed expenses attributable to coronavirus are considered first in the overall use of
funds calculation.
5) Net Unreimbursed Expenses Attributable to Coronavirus
The Reporting Entity will report on unreimbursed expenses attributable to coronavirus (net after other
4

assistance received and PRF payments are applied) by quarter for the period of availability, broken
out as General and Administrative and/or other Health Care-Related Expenses.
6) Lost Revenues Reimbursement
PRF payment amounts (excluding SNF and Nursing Home Infection Control Distribution payments)
not fully expended on health care-related expenses attributable to coronavirus may then be applied to
patient care lost revenues, if applicable. 4 Documentation requirements for lost revenues calculations
are further defined within the Data Elements section below. Recipients may choose to apply PRF
payments toward lost revenues using one of three options, up to the amount:
Option i: of the difference between actual patient care revenues;
Option ii: of the difference between budgeted (prior to March 27, 2020) and actual patient care
revenues.
Option iii: calculated by any reasonable method of estimating revenues.
Data Elements
The following data elements in the PRF Reporting Portal will allow HRSA to assess how recipients used

10

In addition to providing patient care revenues, Reporting Entities will need to provide additional revenue
information, depending on which of the following options they select to calculate lost revenues
attributable to coronavirus. Refer to Step 6 of Steps for Reporting on Use of Funds above.
Option ii: Reporting Entities must also submit: 1) a copy of a budget, which must have been approved
before March 27, 2020, and 2) an attestation from the Reporting Entity’s Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer, or similar responsible individual, attesting under 18 USC § 1001 that the exact
budget being submitted was established and approved prior to March 27, 2020;
Option iii: Alternate methodology for calculating lost revenues attributable to coronavirus
Reporting Entities must submit: 1) a narrative document describing methodology, an explanation
of why the methodology is reasonable, and a description establishing how lost revenues were
attributable to coronavirus, as opposed to a loss caused by any other source; and 2) A calculation
of lost revenues attributable to coronavirus using the methodology described in the narrative
document. All recipients seeking to use an alternate methodology face an increased likelihood of
an audit by HRSA. HRSA will notify a recipient if their proposed methodology is not reasonable,
including if it does not demonstrate with a reasonable certainty that claimed lost revenues were
caused by coronavirus. If HRSA determines that a recipient’s proposed alternate methodology is
not reasonable, the recipient must resubmit its report within 30 days of notification using either
Option i or Option ii to calculate lost revenues attributable to coronavirus.
