Re: CARES Act Relief Funds – Terms & Conditions
Dear Deputy Secretary Hargan,
The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) sincerely appreciates the Department of Health & Human Services’ (HHS) quick efforts to distribute the initial $30 billion in grants to providers under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (H.R. 748). On behalf of our members, we are requesting additional guidance regarding certain terms and conditions associated with accepting these payments.
