PRF Reporting Period 3 Is Now Open

If you received more than $10,000 in HHS Provider Relief Fund (PRF) payments for either the General or Targeted distributions between Jan. 1, 2021, and June 30, 2021 — and used those funds for your practice — it’s time to attest for Reporting Period 3 (RP3). And remember, all payments from RP3 must have been used by the June 30, 2022, deadline.

“Providers who accepted PRF payment(s) agreed to the Terms and Conditions of the program which included a requirement to report on the use of the funds,” notes HHS Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) in online guidance. “Reporting is an important process in understanding how the program had an impact nationwide. Providers who do not submit a completed report are considered non-compliant with the Terms and Conditions,” HRSA warns.

The PRF portal for RP3 opened July 1 and will run through Sept. 30, 2022.
