THOT Members Respond to COVID-19
Ask Congress to include funding for the HRSA Uninsured Program in its next COVID funding bill
THOT encourages Congress to add funding for COVID-19-related services for the uninsured to COVID legislat
ion.
As of March 16, 2022, the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) announced that due to a lack of federal funding, HRSA’s Uninsured Program will no longer be available for testing, treatment, and vaccine services related to COVID-19 for uninsured individuals. Claims for testing and treatment received after March 22 will not be processed or reimbursed; claims for vaccine administration received after April 5 will not be processed or reimbursed.
