8. Paycheck Protection Program: What Is It?
The Paycheck Protection Program is a
newly created loan/grant program.
Eligible businesses can receive a
forgivable loan in an amount equal to 2.5
times the company’s qualified monthly
payroll.
For purposes of this program, an eligible
business is a business with up to 500
employees (full-time or part-time).
9. Calculating Your Eligible Monthly Payroll Amount
Most eligible businesses will use their average
monthly payroll for 2019, excluding
compensation over $100,000 on an annualized
basis for each employee making more than
$100,000 annually.
If you are a NEW business, average monthly
payroll should be calculated using the time
period from January 1, 2020 to February 29,
2020, excluding compensation over $100,000
on an annualized basis for each employee.
10. How Much Can You Borrow?
To calculate the total amount you can
borrow, multiply your eligible
monthly payroll amount by 2.5 and
this is the amount you can borrow
under this program.
Here is an Example –
Monthly Payroll Amount:
$17,500 x 2.5 = $43,750 loan amount.
11. How Much Can Be Forgiven?
The entire loan can be forgiven if the
business meets certain
requirements.
If the business fails to meet the
requirements, then the amount
forgiven will be reduced or you may
have to pay the entire amount back.
12. What Must A Business Do For
The Loan To Be Forgiven?
In order for the loan to be forgiven, the small business must demonstrate that the loan monies were
used to pay employee salaries, health insurance premiums, rent or mortgage interest and utilities.
The business owner(s) must attest that you have the same number of employees (full-time and part-
time) at the end of the loan period (8 weeks) as you did at the beginning.
If you terminated employees during this period OR you reduced their salaries by more than 25%,
then you may have to pay a portion or the entire loan back – 2 years @ 1%.

with you to determine the best
combination/mix or sequencing of

21. IRS – Employee Retention Credit
The Treasury Department has launched the Employee Retention
Credit, designed to encourage businesses to keep employees on
their payroll. The refundable tax credit is 50 percent of up to
$10,000 in wages paid by an eligible employer whose business has
been financially impacted by COVID-19.
The IRS/Treasury Department encourage businesses to take full
advantage of the Employee Retention Credit to keep employees
on their payroll.
This new credit is available to all employers, regardless of size of
business, and covers up to 50 percent of up to $10,000 in wages.
22. Qualifying Employers Must Fall Into One
of Two Categories:
1. The employer’s business is fully or partially
suspended by government order due to
COVID-19 during the calendar quarter.
2. The employer’s gross receipts are below 50
percent of the comparable quarter in 2019.
Once the employer’s gross receipts go above
80 percent of a comparable quarter in 2019 they
no longer qualify after the end of that quarter.
These measures are calculated each calendar quarter.
23. IRS – Employee Retention Credit
The amount of the credit is 50 percent of qualifying wages paid up to
$10,000 in total. Wages paid after March 12, 2020, and before January 1,
2021 are eligible for the credit. Wages taken into account are not limited
to cash payments, but also include a portion of the cost of employer
provided health care.

26. Medicare Advanced Payment Option
CMS has relaxed the requirements for
providers wishing to obtain an advance
payment on future Medicare claims.
CMS is authorized to make advanced
payment through the duration of the
COVID-19 national public health emergency.
Application is through the provider’s
Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC).
27. Who is Eligible for Advanced Payments?
Any provider…
1. Who has billed Medicare within
the past 180 days.
2. Who is not in bankruptcy.
3. Not under active medical review
or program integrity investigation.
4. Does not have any outstanding
delinquent Medicare overpayments.
28. Amount of Advanced Payment
The provider is limited how much can be requested – an
amount equal to the average monthly Medicare payments
for up to three months. Provider should consider that this
advanced payment will have to be paid back out of future
Medicare receipts. Repayment will begin – automatically –
120 days after the advance and must be fully repaid within
210 days of receiving the advance.
If Advanced Payment is NOT repaid within 210 days, CMS
begins charging INTEREST on this “loan”.
29. Can The Provider Continue To Submit Claims
During The 3-Month Advance?
Yes, the provider is not precluded
from submitting claims during the
3-month period covered by the
advance. Recoupment will still not
occur until 120 after receipt of the
advance.
31. Provider Lost Revenue Program
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many physicians
have seen a precipitous drop in patient visits,
cancelation of “elective” non-essential surgeries, etc.
The purpose of this fund is to provide grants to
practices that have experienced a reduction in
revenue or an unexpected increase in costs due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. The money will be available
during the period of the national emergency.
32. Provider Relief Program
Submitted claims to Medicare in 2019 is eligible for a payment from this fund.
The Operation of this program is being done under contract with United Health
Group/Optum.
MOST providers began seeing money deposited in their accounts last Friday (4/10).
33. What Is The Provider Relief Program?
This is a brand-new program, authorized by
Congress and signed into law by the President as
part of the CARES Act – legislation signed into law
on March 27th.
Congress authorized $100 Billion for this program
to be administered by the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
34. Provider Relief Program
On Friday, April 10th, CMS released the first
$30 Billion from this fund.
ANY “Provider” or “Supplier” who is
enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid.
35. Provider Relief Fund
Here is the formula CMS is using to determine the individual amount. Payment is
based on TIN and the Medicare enrolled provider to whom that TIN is linked.
Provider Medicare Payments for 2019 divided by $484,000,000,000. You then
multiply this number by $30,000,000,000.
OR
You multiply your 2019 Medicare payments by 6.1%
36. What MIGHT This Look Like?
1. Provider’s average monthly for 3/1 2019 – 12/28 2019 was $100,000.
2. Provider’s revenue in March 2020 was $20,000.
3. Providers estimated lost revenue $80,000.
4. HHS sends provider a check for $80,000.
37. Terms and Conditions: Relief Fund $$$
