HHS opens PRF Reporting Portal for registration

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has launched the Provider Relief Fund (PRF) Reporting Portal. The portal is only open for providers to set up user accounts and register to submit reports. In the updated PRF reporting requirements, HHS indicates reporting is delayed until further notice. No date is provided in the PRF reporting FAQs.

Highlights from the PRF reporting FAQs include:

• While nursing home infection control reporting guidance has not yet been released, providers who received these allocations must register.
• Providers may not use their Optum account information, such as Optum ID, to register.
• HHS has not set a deadline to register.
• Providers submitting multiple reports for multiple subsidiaries must set up unique reporting registrations for each. Conversely, if a provider with multiple subsidiaries is submitting a single report, only one registration is needed.
• Parent companies reporting on multiple tax ID numbers (TINs) must include all TINs when registering to report.
• Any updates to registration information only can be made when the reporting web portal goes live.

Providers can view the PRF reporting and audit webpage with reporting guidance here.
