Unreimbursed expenses attributable to coronavirus are considered first in the overall use of funds calculation. Provider Relief Fund payment amounts not fully expended on unreimbursed healthcare related expenses attributable to coronavirus are then applied to lost revenues for 2020, which is capped at the change in 2019 to 2020 actual revenue from patient care (i.e., patient care revenue in 2019 less patient care revenue in 2020).
Recipients that reported increased revenue from patient care in 2020 as compared to 2019, are eligible to use Provider Relief Fund payments toward expenses attributable to coronavirus not reimbursed by other sources, however, they would not be considered to have lost revenues attributable to coronavirus for the initial reporting period.
