ARP Rural and Phase 4 Payment Reconsideration
PRF Phase 4 and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Reconsideration process is now open through the submission deadline at 11:59:59 PM EST on May 2, 2022.
This process is intended for providers who believe their Phase 4/ARP Rural payment was not calculated correctly. HRSA is allowing additional time through this reconsideration process for all applicants to be able to participate if interested. You may not submit for reconsideration unless you have an email from HRSA indicated the outcome of your original application. In other words, you may not have a pending application and be able to apply.
This reconsideration process is not an opportunity for providers to submit an application for Phase 4/ARP Rural funding. The deadline to apply has passed.
- Providers will not be able to revise or correct their original application (e.g., elect to be considered for ARP Rural payment after their Phase 4/ARP Rural application was submitted).
- The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will not make changes to payment determinations that would require a change to payment methodology or policy.
Additional information about the reconsideration process and required steps for submitted a reconsideration application, may be found here or by calling the Provider Support Line at (866) 569-3522, for TTY dial 711. Hours of operation are 8 AM to 10 PM CT Monday through Friday.
