    • Duration of Applicability of Terms and Conditions – new FAQ - HHS notes that the T&Cs have varying applicability timeframes, with some requirements (e.g., use of funds) that apply “until the provider has exhausted these funds.” Other T&Cs apply to a longer period (e.g., maintaining all records pertaining to PRF payment expenditures for three years from the date of final expenditure).
    • Purchases vs. Asset Deals – new FAQ
      • If the transaction is a purchase of an entity (e.g., purchase of stock or membership interests) that received PRF money, the PRF recipient may continue to use the funds, regardless of its new owner.
      • If the transaction is an asset purchase (whether for some or all of the PRF recipient’s assets), the original recipient must use the funds for its eligible expenses and lost revenues and return any unused funds to HHS (i.e., the PRF money does not transfer to the buyer).
      • If a bankrupt recipient is liquidated, it must use PRF payments for eligible expenses and lost revenues and return any unused funds to HHS.
    • Medicaid Distribution – new FAQs
      • HHS reiterates that a provider eligible for the General Distribution, even if it rejected the payment, is not eligible for a Medicaid Targeted Distribution payment.
      • If a provider is enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP, but did not bill Medicaid/CHIP during the eligibility window (1/1/2018–12/31/2019), may apply for this distribution as long as the provider:

      • HHS clarifies that new Medicaid/CHIP providers (i.e., those who began billing between 1/1 and 5/31/2020) are not eligible to apply. They may be eligible for future allocations.
      • HHS collected 2018 and 2019 Medicaid/CHIP provider data from state and federal sources including corporate names, TINs, and payment amounts, and is using this data to validate Portal submissions. Data is not yet available for new providers who submitted claims between 1/1 and 5/31/2020.
      • Indian healthcare providers are eligible to apply for this distribution if they meet all the eligibility criteria.
      • Health care providers that bill either FFS or managed care Medicaid/CHIP are eligible for this distribution if they otherwise meet the other eligibility criteria.

Business Insurance Issues Related to COVID-19   

  • For a 50-state review of business interruption insurance related issues see this new COVID-19 Insurance Litigation and Regulatory Issues tracker. (Weekly update 6/21/20)
  • On June 15, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP filed a complaint on behalf of its client Atelier 1 2 3 Restaurant LLC dba Atelier Crenn against insurers Farmers Group Inc. and Truck Insurance Exchange alleging that Farmer’s Group Inc. wrongfully denied plaintiff’s claim for business interruption coverage. Plaintiff argues that the denial of coverage was “part of a premeditated strategy by Defendant to deny all claims related to the ‘shelter in place’ orders and COVID-19.”Plaintiff claims that the policies at issue provide coverage for several reasons, including because the shelter in place orders resulted in a loss of access to the insured premises necessitating a suspension of business operations. Plaintiff asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unfair business practices under California’s Unfair Competition Law, and declaratory relief. The case is Atelier 1 2 3 Restaurant LLC, et al. v. Farmers Group Inc., et al., No. CGC-20-584762 (San Francisco Cnty. Sup. Ct., filed June 15, 2020).
  • On June 15, Society Insurance moved to dismiss Rising Dough, Inc.’s putative class action alleging wrongful denial of business interruption coverage.  Society cited several grounds for dismissal including that the policy did not provide business income or extra expense coverage because COVID-19 did not cause “direct physical loss of or damage to covered property.” Moreover, Civil Authority coverage did not exist because Plaintiffs’ alleged losses were not caused by an order of civil authority prohibiting access to the premises on grounds of either damage to other property or a dangerous physical condition. The docket entry is Rising Dough, Inc. v. Society Insurance, No. 2:20-cv-00623-JPS (E.D. Wis.), Dkt. No. 20.
