FEMA is in the process of updating and formalizing its approach regarding the duplication of
benefits for hospitals under the COVID-19 disaster declarations. On September 6, 2022, FEMA
released its proposed approach to resolving the potential duplication of benefits of patient
care revenue with Public Assistance funding. Previously, FEMA’s position on this issue was that
applicants were responsible for ensuring that they were not receiving duplicate payment for
projects and that they simply had to self-certify the same.
The proposed approach identifies projects as either “low-risk” or “high-risk” and establishes
different review thresholds for each to protect against duplication of benefits:
high-risk projects, as waiting on HSOAC reviews could lead to substantial project delays. FEMA
expects to publish its final approach and process at the end of September and will commence
project reviews on October 1, 2022.
DCMC’s recovery experts are available immediately to assist all of their hospital clients in
evaluating their options and developing a methodology for high-risk projects. Please contact your
assigned Project Manager for more information.
