On November 4, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) posted new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to assist RHCs with recent Rural Health Clinic (RHC) COVID-19 Testing Program reporting requirements https://www.hrsa.gov/rural-health/coronavirus/frequently-asked-questions. HRSA also reorganized existing FAQs for clarity and ease of use. As a reminder, funded RHCs must continue to report COVID-19 tests and spending categories monthly on the Rural Health Clinic COVID-19 Reporting Portal according to the schedule below (Table 1). October data is due by November 30.
