On May 7, Health and Human Services (HHS) announced an extension of the deadline for physicians and other health care professionals to attest to receipt of payments from the Provider Relief Fund and accept the Terms and Conditions.
Physicians and other health care professionals will now have 45 days, increased from 30 days, from the date they receive a payment to attest and accept the Terms and Conditions or return the funds. With the extension, not returning the payment within 45 days of receipt of payment will be viewed as acceptance of the terms.
