The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that the deadline for Medicaid and CHIP providers to apply for grants through the Provider Relief Fund has been extended to Aug. 3. In the same statement, HHS announced the distribution of $10 billion during a second round of financial relief for hospitals significantly impacted by COVID-19. Hospitals with more than 161 COVID-19 admissions between Jan. 1 and June 10, with one admission per day, or whose COVID-19 admissions were greater than the average ratio of COVID-19 admissions per bed will receive $50,000 per eligible admission.
