Provider Relief Fund Deadline Extension Act

Provider Relief Fund Deadline Extension Act

This bill extends the period during which health care providers may use payments received from the Provider Relief Fund to cover a variety of costs related to COVID-19.

The Provider Relief Fund Deadline Extension Act, also known as Bill 117 hr 4735, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. This bill aims to extend the deadline for healthcare providers to use funds from the Provider Relief Fund, which was established to help healthcare providers respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The original deadline for healthcare providers to use the funds from the Provider Relief Fund was set to expire on December 31, 2021. However, this bill proposes to extend the deadline to December 31, 2022. This extension would give healthcare providers more time to utilize the funds and ensure that they can continue to provide essential services to their patients.

The Provider Relief Fund Deadline Extension Act has received bipartisan support in Congress, with lawmakers from both parties recognizing the importance of ensuring that healthcare providers have the resources they need to effectively respond to the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. If passed, this bill would provide much-needed relief to healthcare providers across the country and help to ensure that they can continue to deliver high-quality care to their patients.
