Learn how your practice can access federal relief funds: ACOG’s step-by-step guide

With the complex eligibility and application requirements, it can be difficult to find out exactly how your practice can access the HHS federal relief funds.

Congress allocated $175 billion in federal relief funds for physician practices and health care facilities to use as a result of the financial impact of COVID-19. These funds are not loans thus they will not require any repayment.

Understanding the eligibility and application requirements can be difficult, especially for busy ob/gyns. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) has detailed these requirements in a helpful step-by-step guide to help your practice secure these funds by the July 20, 2020 deadline.
