If, as a result of the sale of a healthcare facility, the TIN that received a Provider Relief Fund payment is no longer providing health care services as of January 31, 2020, is it required to return the payment?

Yes. If, as a result of the sale of a healthcare facility, the TIN that received a Provider Relief Fund payment did not provide diagnoses, testing, or care for individuals with possible or actual cases of COVID-19 on or after January 31, 2020, the provider must reject the payment. The Provider Relief Fund Payment Attestation Portal guides providers through the attestation process to reject the attestation and return the payment to HRSA.
