HHS Extends Deadline for Medicaid Providers to Request Relief

In June 2020, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and dental providers were able to apply to the Provider Relief Fund for funding of up to 2% of reported revenue from patient care. The initial deadline of July 20, 2020 was extended to August 3. Now, the Department of Health and Human Services has extended the deadline to August 28 to apply for funds. Furthermore, starting next week, Medicare providers who missed the opportunity to apply for additional funding from the initial Medicare General Distribution made in April will be able to apply for funds until August 28.
