HHS Releases Updated PRF Reporting Requirements and Timeline

On June 11, 2021, HHS through HRSA issued revised PRF reporting requirements and updated FAQs. Highlights include:

• Period of availability of funds is based on the date the payment is received. The first reporting due date will be 9/30/2021 for funds received between April 10, 2020 – June 30, 2020.
• The PRF Reporting Portal will open and forms will be available for providers to start submitting information on July 1, 2021.
• Recipients will have a 90-day period to complete reporting (rather than a 30-day reporting period).
• Reporting requirements are now applicable to recipients of the Skilled Nursing Facility and Nursing Home Infection Control Distribution; the reporting requirements still do not apply to the RHC COVID-19 Testing Program and HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program.
• Recipients are required to report for each Payment Received Period in which they received one or more payments exceeding, in the aggregate, $10,000 (rather than $10,000 cumulatively across all PRF payments)
