Audits
HHS has hired four outside firms to audit the billions of dollars it sent to hospitals and other healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first audits will begin after Sept. 30 and will focus on the providers who received at least $750,000 from the $178 billion provider relief fund program.
The Office of the Inspector General also plans to perform its own audit of the program to determine if the payments were calculated correctly and went to eligible providers.
