On April 2, 2020, HRSA extended the calendar year 2021 FTCA deeming application deadline from May 14 to July 13 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This is extremely significant given the COVID-19 concerns being faced by FQHCs.
HRSA is encouraging health centers to submit applications earlier than July 13 and will conduct an expedited review for those that submit applications earlier. The EHBs will begin accepting applications on April 13. Supplemental deeming applications for VHPs who were not included on the redeeming application will be accepted as of July 31.
We had presented a webinar on the FTCA application on Tuesday, March 31. For those of you who were not able to attend, CLICK HERE to view the recording and CLICK HERE to view the slides.
