Calculating Eligible Expenses and Lost Revenue: How will HRSA calculate lost revenues for providers that select Option ii (Comparison of Budgeted to Actual Lost Revenues) at the time of reporting?

For Option ii, lost revenues are calculated for each quarter during the period of availability, as a standalone calculation, with budgeted quarters serving as a baseline. For each calendar year of reporting, the applicable quarters where lost revenues are demonstrated are totaled to determine an annual lost revenues amount. The annual lost revenues for the years included in the period of availability are then added together. There is no offset.  Reporting Entities may use budgeted revenues if the budget(s) and associated documents covering the Period of Availability were established and approved prior to March 27, 2020.
