HRSA Announces Additional Provider Relief Funds to Be Distributed

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announced on Thursday that it will begin distributing $560 million in Provider Relief Fund (PRF) Phase 4 General Distribution payments. These payments will benefit more than 4,100 providers across the country.

The Phase 4 PRF payments have focused more on equity, including reimbursing a higher percentage of losses for smaller providers, and have allowed for bonus payments for providers who serve Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program, and Medicare beneficiaries.

Approximately 86% of all Phase 4 applications have now been processed. In total, nearly $11.5 billion in PRF Phase 4 payments have now been distributed to more than 78,000 providers in all 50 states, Washington, DC, and five territories. For more information, see the state-by-state breakdown.
