HHS Provider Relief Fund President Trump is providing support to healthcare providers fighting the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic through the bipartisan Coronavirus Aid, Relief, & Economic Security Act and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, which provide a total of $175 billion for relief funds to hospitals and other healthcare providers on the front lines of the COVID-19 response. This funding supports healthcare-related expenses or lost revenue attributable to COVID-19 and ensures uninsured Americans can get treatment for COVID-19. HHS is distributing this Provider Relief Fund money and these payments do not need to be repaid. The Department allocated $50 billion of the Provider Relief Fund for general distribution to Medicare facilities and providers impacted by COVID-19, based on eligible providers' net reimbursement. It allocated another $22 billion to providers in areas particularly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, rural providers, and providers who serve low-income populations and uninsured Americans. HHS will be allocating the remaining funds in the near future.

As part of the Provider Relief Fund distribution, all providers have 45 days to attest that they meet certain criteria to keep the funding they received, including public disclosure. As of May 15, 2020, there has been a total of $34 billion in attested payments. The chart only includes those providers that have attested to the payments by that date. We will continue to update this information and add the additional providers and payments once their attestation is complete.

CMS Accelerated and Advance Payments Program On March 28, 2020, to increase cash flow to providers of services and suppliers impacted by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) expanded the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program to a broader group of Medicare Part A providers and Part B suppliers. Beginning on April 26, 2020, CMS stopped accepting new applications for the Advance Payment Program, and CMS began reevaluating all pending and new applications for Accelerated Payments in light of the availability of direct payments made through HHS’s Provider Relief Fund.

Since expanding the AAP program on March 28, 2020, CMS approved over 21,000 applications totaling $59.6 billion in payments to Part A providers, which includes hospitals, through May 18, 2020. For Part B suppliers—including doctors, non-physician practitioners and durable medical equipment suppliers— during the same time period, CMS approved almost 24,000 applications advancing $40.4 billion in payments. The AAP program is not a grant, and providers and suppliers are required to repay the loan.

CMS has published AAP data, as required by the Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act of 2021, on this website: https://www.cms.gov/files/document/covid-medicare-accelerated-and-advance-payments-program-covid-19-public-health-emergency-payment.pdf.

This map is part of SDGs Today.Please see sdgstoday.orgTo address the economic and social challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, governments are using fiscal measures, including additional expenditure and liquidity support, that have different budgetary and debt-related implications. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) compiles a database on fiscal measures announced by 141 different governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The database categorizes different types of fiscal support. Above-the-line measures are reflected in the fiscal balance and government debt and include additional spending, capital grants and targeted transfers, or tax relief measures. Below-the-line measures involve the creation of assets, such as loans or equity in firms. Government guarantees granted to banks, firms, or households usually have no immediate upfront cost in the form of deficit or debt, but they create a contingent liability, with the government exposed to future calls on guarantees which could increase public debt. Numbers in the database represent IMF estimates and are considered preliminary. As of December 31st 2020, total fiscal support announced across all measures and all 141 countries amounted to USD 13.9 trillion.

Based on an online survey carried out between June and July 2020, 23 percent of the Southern African businesses that took part in the study wished the government provided working capital to firms during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
