Nursing Home Infection Control (NHIC) payments are a component of a PRF Targeted Distribution payment that were awarded to skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes nationwide to help combat the devastating effects of the pandemic. In addition to direct payments to these providers, some of them also received NHIC Quality Incentive Payment (QIP) Program payments, based on certain performance measures. However, unlike other PRF dollars, NHIC funds can only be used to pay for “infection control” expenses and not lost revenues. Reporting Period 2 is the first-time providers will be reporting on their NHIC payments. These reports must be submitted no later than March 31, 2022.

Hear from the team at the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Provider Relief Bureau, to learn more about NHIC allowable expenses, how to use the PRF Reporting Portal to report on NHIC payments, and what resources are available to assist you with reporting in Reporting Period 2. This webinar will focus on the unique aspects of reporting on nursing home infection control funds received in 2020 and 2021.
