CARES Act Provider Relief Fund Compliance Podcast Series
Part II - Terms and Conditions: What You Should Know and Do To Demonstrate Compliance
Through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, $175 billion has been appropriated to the Provider Relief Fund. HHS has or will pay out these relief funds as grants to healthcare providers in order to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19. This three part podcast series will discuss Provider Relief Fund requirements, the rules on how grant monies are to be spent and accounted for and how to best position your organization for future federal audits and enforcement activities.
In Part II, we discuss the terms and conditions of the Provider Relief Fund and important policies, processes and documentation to mitigate risk and demonstrate compliance.
