Area(s) of Interest: Payor Issues and Reimbursement 


The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) posted a recent update to its Provider Relief Fund frequently asked questions (FAQ) with important tax information for physicians.

According to HHS, 1099 forms will be sent to physicians who received a payment in excess of $600 during the 2020 calendar year, from either the Provider Relief Fund or the COVID-19 Claims Reimbursement to Health Care Providers and Facilities for Testing, Treatment, and Vaccine Administration for the Uninsured.

These forms will be mailed by January 31, 2021; however, a mailed copy will not be sent if physicians have previously established an account with UnitedHealth Group and elected to receive electronic copies of documents and notices.
