HRSA began issuing Final Repayment Notices to recipients of Provider Relief Fund payments who did not report in applicable PRF Reporting Periods as required and must now repay funds to HRSA. For more information about this process, review the Repayment and Debt Collection webpage.
Providers can submit a Decision Review to request a review of HRSA’s decision to seek repayment. The Decision Review process is only for providers that have received a Final Repayment Notice and do not agree with the repayment amount or reason(s) contained in this Notice. The Decision Review request must be submitted through the Decision Review portal within 60-days of the date of the Final Repayment Notice.
