Accessing the $2 trillion Recovery Fund for COVID-19: How to prepare your organization for FEMA Disaster Declaration Reimbursement

Location: Online

Registration Deadline: April 02, 2020

Overview

FEMA and government leaders have proven experience to help hospitals affected by COVID-19 implement and design strategies to integrate federal funding applications with insurance and local resources to maximize the recovery budget. As part of President Trump’s emergency declaration in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was directed to assist eligible entities, including hospitals, with the health and safety actions they take on behalf of the American public. As part of that assistance, eligible emergency protective measures taken at the direction or guidance of public health officials could be reimbursed under Category B of the FEMA Public Assistance program.

This webinar will highlight first steps for members in need of a plan for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursements, how to prepare your hospital, and the most common mistake that organizations make in this process and how to avoid it.

Key Discussion Points Include:

Key deadlines
Documentation
Reimbursable costs
PEMA and the reimbursement state process

This webinar is complimentary for HAP members.
