Pharmacies that received more than $750,000 in federal funds, including funds from the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund, will be subject to single audit requirements.

The Provider Relief Fund, as part of the CARES Act, was an important stopgap for many health care providers across the country, but details on reporting requirements and timing have been elusive.

The terms of participation in the phase 2 round of the Provider Relief Fund created an unintended exclusion for pharmacies that primarily serve Medicaid/Children’s Health Insurance Program patients.
