PRF recipients have the flexibility to identify how to use their multiple payments toward expenses and lost revenues, but must abide by the Terms and Conditions associated with each of the payments and follow the requirements for determining allowable expenses and lost revenues. The Nursing Home Infection Control Distribution, which includes the Quality Incentive Program payments, may only be used to reimburse infection control expenses. This type of Targeted Distribution payment may not reimburse lost revenues.
PRF payments may be used as described in the relevant payment Terms and Conditions for expenses and lost revenues, as appropriate, dating back to January 1, 2020. Because of the overlapping periods of availability, providers have the flexibility to identify which payments they will use to reimburse allowable expenses and lost revenues incurred during the period of availability. Duplication of reimbursement for expenses and lost revenues is not permitted.
