The HHS Medicaid/CHIP Provider Relief Fund application deadline is a little less than a month away. But it’s vitally important to start the application process sooner rather than later! 

The first step in applying for payment is registering an account through the HHS Provider Relief Fund Portal. Once you create the account, you will have to provide necessary nonfinancial information to HHS to validate eligibility for the Fund. Validation can take up to 15 days per HHS, so starting soon is important. Submit validations no later than by July 5 to meet the July 20 deadline. 

Once validated, you will provide HHS the practice’s financial information needed to calculate your relief payment amount. After payment is received from the Fund, you will have 90 days to accept the payment by attesting to Terms and Conditions.
