Phase 4 Provider Relief Fund Application & Webinars – October 13th and 21st

Phase 4 Provider Relief Fund Application & Webinars – October 13th and 21st

Phase 4 Provider Relief Fund Application & Webinars

The application portal for the Phase 4 and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Provider Relief Fund (PRF) payments opened Sept. 29.

HRSA has added many new resources regarding the Phase 4  and ARP Rural PRF application on the HRSA website. We are encouraging members to attend one of the upcoming webinars on how to apply for the funds and navigate the application portal so your application doesn’t get kicked out for an error. Also, HRSA has made changes to the application process since the last application. You can register for one of the following webinars at the links below:

Given the short application timeline, providers should start their application process now with some of the following steps: 

  1. Providers who haven’t logged into the application and attestation portal in the past 90 days will be required to reset their password.
  2. Providers are required to have a One Healthcare ID (previously called an OptumID). Providers who do not have one set up from a previous application will need to establish one. Providers with a previous OptumID will sign into the portal with their existing Optum ID username and password.
  3. As with previous applications, providers must submit their Tax Identification Number(s) or TINs for validation and this can take up to 10 days. You will not be able to complete the application until your TIN is approved so it would be good to initiate this first step as soon as possible and then collect the remaining documentation while you await approval and attend one of the webinars.

Don’t wait too long to apply because all applications must be in by October 26, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Please reach out with any questions.
