The following text was provided by someone saying that HHS has added it to their website and General Distribution Portal -
"HHS plans to make publicly available the names of payment recipients and the amounts received, for all providers who attest to receipt of a payment and acceptance of the Terms and Conditions. You should only attest if you believe the payment you received is consistent with your estimated allocation. To calculate your estimated total allocation, divide your "Gross Receipts or Sales" or "Program Service Revenue" by 2.5 trillion and then multiply by 50 billion. ((Gross Receipts or Sales) / 2,500,000,000,000) * 50,000,000,000
To estimate the amount likely to be received via this portal application, subtract the amount of payments already received from your total estimated total allocation above.
Please do not attest if the payments you have received already exceed your estimated total allocation. Please contact the CARES Provider Relief hotline at (866) 569-3522 if you believe that you have received an overpayment."
Has anyone else come across this or have any thoughts?
I called the hotline number and the representative said they weren't aware of anything official in terms of asking providers to calculate potential overpayment before attesting. I've also been unable to find this exact language on the HHS site itself but I'm guessing that it's more likely to be in the portal.
