RHC COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation Program
You could apply RHC COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation (RHCCTM) Program funds to remaining expenses or indirect costs attributable to COVID-19 testing, mitigation, and testing and mitigation related expenses (i.e., overhead costs), after netting the other funds received or obligated to be received which offset those expenses. The RHCCTM Program permits reimbursement of marginal increased expenses related to COVID-19 testing and testing related expenses.
HRSA encouraged the use of RHCCTM Program funds to cover remaining expenses or indirect costs (i.e., overhead costs) so that providers could respond to the coronavirus public health emergency by maintaining health care delivery capacity.
- You could use any reasonable method of estimating the expenses or indirect costs (i.e., overhead costs) attributable to COVID-19 testing and testing related expenses that are not covered by other payments.
- You should maintain appropriate records and cost documentation to support these estimates.
