The federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), has announced a new round of Provider Relief Funding. HRSA has increased the types of providers eligible for this phase of funding, including healthcare providers that began practicing January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020. Providers that have already received Provider Relief Fund payments are invited to apply for additional funding that considers financial losses and changes in operating expenses caused by the coronavirus. And an expanded group of behavioral health providers confronting the emergence of increased mental health and substance use issues exacerbated by the pandemic are also eligible for relief payments. Applications are now being accepted and the deadline is November 6, 2020. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply early for funding.
