HRSA has announced information on the opportunity to request the submission of a late Provider Relief Fund report based on extenuating circumstances for payments received between April 10 to June 30, 2020. Below is detailed information that is also located on the
HRSA PRF website.
If a provider who missed Reporting Period 1 has not previously registered for the PRF Reporting Portal, the provider should proceed with registering now by visiting https://prfreporting.hrsa.gov and click on “Register” located below “First Time User? Click on “Register” to create an account” on the left side of the page. They may call the Provider Support Line at 866-569-3522 for help with registering.
Starting April 11, 2022, providers that missed Reporting Period 1 due to extenuating circumstances will be able to submit their request for a late report through April 22, 2022. Then, the opportunity to complete the report will approximately start on May 9. The providers approved for late reporting will receive notification of the limited timeframe to complete the report at the email shared when they submitted their request for a late report. It will be a two-week opportunity to complete and submit the report, and there will be no option for extension to the communicated deadline.
Providers should not return the PRF funds per the March 2022 letter from HRSA. HRSA will contact providers in the future on the return of funds if they do not submit a request for a late report or complete the required report. Until the required report is submitted, the provider remains out of compliance with the reporting requirement for Reporting Period 1, which will impact the provider's eligibility to receive additional PRF payments.
