COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund

We want to make you aware that the federal Department of Health and Human Services just announced a new application portal for Medicaid providers to access the COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund.  There is a lot of information around this program that practitioners should review to see if they qualify.  Because a lot of questions have arisen, HHS just announced it will be hosting webinars on the application process for the Provider Relief Fund Medicaid Provider Distribution. Pre-registration is required, and you can submit questions when you register.
