The first Provider Relief Fund Payment Portal was used for providers who received a General Distribution payment prior to Friday, April 24th.  These providers were required to submit financial information in order to receive approximately 2% of revenues derived from patient care.

HHS has developed the new Provider Relief Fund Application and Attestation Portal for providers who bill Medicaid and CHIP (e.g., pediatricians, long-term care, and behavioral health providers) or are dental providers.  HHS has since expanded eligibility to other  providers, including those who may not have received additional funds as part of the Phase 1 – General Distribution.
