The Department of Health and Human Services said it is taking additional steps to provide federal coronavirus relief funding to health care providers and hospitals that care for the poor and uninsured
The agency, which has come under fire in recent weeks for delays in distributing the $175 billion in federal support that Congress authorized in late March and April, expects to dole out about $15 billion to providers that participate in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program but have not yet received payments from the relief fund that Congress authorized. The money is intended to compensate those that lost revenue or had increased expenses because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"We are concerned that the delay in disbursing funds from the [relief fund] for Medicaid-dependent providers could result in long term financial hardship for providers who serve some of our most vulnerable populations," the lawmakers wrote."It could also severely hamper their ability to continue to serve as essential providers amid the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.
