Abstract:
HRSA Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) has requested approval to create a new monthly, aggregate data report to collect information on COVID-19 testing conducted by Rural Health Clinic (RHC) organizations. Respondents are RHC organizations who received funding for COVID-19 testing and related expenses. HRSA issued funding as one-time payments to 2,406 RHC organizations based on the number of certified clinic sites they operate, providing $49,461.42 per clinic site (4,549 RHC clinic sites total across the country). The organizations were identified by Tax ID number and an organization may operate one or more RHC sites which were identified by unique CMS Certification Numbers (CCN). Data report information is needed to comply with federal requirements to monitor funds distributed under The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act.
Emergency Justfication:
Approval of the RHC CTR is urgent and time-sensitive to meet federal reporting requirements as outlined in the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act legislation. Because of the urgent nature of the COVID-19 pandemic response, combined with the quick disbursement of and the short-term duration of this funding (one time disbursement in May 2020 of 2-year funds), it is important for HRSA to obtain data as quickly as possible. The data will allow HRSA to ensure RHC recipients are meeting the terms and conditions of their funding, while providing HRSA with information on the effectiveness of funds distributed through this program.
