The Notice supersedes all previous Notices of Reporting Requirements. Key updates included guidance concerning the use of PRF and ARP Rural payments for lost revenues incurred within the period of availability up to the end of the Public Health Emergency.
Providers who experienced one or more extenuating circumstances that prevented them from submitting a completed PRF and/or ARP Rural Report by the deadline are offered a one-time opportunity to submit a Request to Report Late Due to Extenuating Circumstance. The opportunities to submit a request to report late for RP1-RP6 have passed.
Providers who accepted PRF and/or ARP Rural payment(s) agreed to the Terms and Conditions of the programs, which included a requirement to report on the use of the funds. Reporting Periods are associated with the date a payment(s) was received. Reporting is an important process in understanding how the program had an impact nationwide. Providers who do not submit a completed report will be considered non-compliant with the Terms and Conditions.
Providers are strongly encouraged to complete their report in the PRF Reporting Portal by the deadlines indicated in the Post-Payment Notice of Reporting Requirements (PDF - 137 KB) in order to remain in compliance with the Terms and Conditions of their PRF and/or ARP Rural payment(s).
