Under the distribution plan, each certified rural health clinic site will receive $100,000, HHS said.
The rural health clinics can use the funding to maintain and expand access to COVID-19 testing and broaden efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus.
“The Biden-Harris Administration recognizes rural health clinics as critical partners in closing health equity gaps, especially related to COVID-19,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “Today’s investments will help rural health clinics keep and expand COVID-19 testing and mitigation services for people in rural parts of the country, including those who live in our nation’s underserved communities.”
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
