CARES Act Provider Relief Fund Update
If You Have Not Received Your Electronic Payment, Call the Provider Relief Line
We continue to get information
regarding the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund. These funds are available to all providers/facilities that received Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursements in 2019. Providers will be distributed a portion of the initial $30 billion put into the Fund based on their share of total Medicare fee-for-service reimbursements in 2019. These are payments, not loans, and providers do not have to apply to receive their share of the fund. Automatic payments began showing up in providers’ accounts last Friday via Optum Bank with "HHSPAYMENT" as the payment description. Provider Relief Line. Some doctors have contacted the MAC because they have not received the
electronic deposit due them through the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund. If you believe you should have received a deposit, but haven’t, contact the CARES Provider Relief Line at (866) 569-3522. You will need your tax ID and business address. If eligible, payments should be deposited within two weeks (checks will take longer). Terms and Conditions Update. HHS' payment of these funds is conditioned on the healthcare provider's acceptance of the Terms and Conditions - PDF, which must occur within 30 days of receipt of payment. Not returning the payment within 30 days of receipt will be viewed as acceptance of the Terms and Conditions. If you do not accept the Terms and Conditions, you must contact HHS within 30 days of receipt of payment and then remit the full payment to HHS as instructed. The CARES Act Provider Relief Fund Payment Attestation Portal will guide providers through the attestation process to accept or reject the funds. For more on the Terms and Conditions, consult the MAC Virtual Toolkit email sent on Tuesday, April 14, 2020.
