Provider Relief Fund Guidance Timeline HHS initially posted some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on May 6 & continued to update through January 28, 2021 Multiple updates of the FAQs with major changes, with 19 FAQs added or modified on January 28, 2021 (and at least one FAQ omitted) Issued Post-Payment Notices on September 19, October 22, November 2, & January 15, 2021 January 15, 2021 included some Consolidated Appropriations Act changes 8

Regulatory Freeze In a memo dated January 20, 2021, President Joe Biden has frozen all federal agency rules and guidances issued under the Trump administration that have not yet taken effect and that have yet to be published in the Federal Register The memo states that for any rules that have been published in the Federal Register or issued in any manner but have not yet taken effect, agency heads should consider postponing the rules’ effective data for 60 days from the date of the memo. The memo also states that during the 60-day effective date delay, agencies should consider opening a 30-day comment period to let interested parties provide input on “issues of fact, law, and policy raised by those rules.” Agencies also should consider any pending petitions that ask for those rules to be reconsidered. After the 60-day delay, agencies should notify the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget of any rule that raises substantial questions of fact, law or policy and take further appropriate action in consultation with the OMB director, the memo says. The “open question” is, what, if anything, will change during the 60-day period? While there are a number of health-related actions by HHS and other agencies affected by this memo, it is unclear whether the HHS PRFs reporting will be impacted in any way. 9

Omitted FAQ – Other Assistance Received HHS FAQs How does “other assistance received” factor into my reported expenses? (Added 10/28/2020) Other assistance received is reported as operating revenue and used in the calculation of year-over-year change in patient care related revenue. 10
