Re: Modifications to the Provider Relief Fund
Dear Secretary Becerra,
The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) appreciates the actions taken by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to distribute Provider Relief Fund (PRF) payments to providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds have allowed medical groups to keep their practices open and continue to treat vulnerable patients. However, MGMA has identified several outstanding issues related to the PRF that we respectfully request HHS to address.
