Congress set up a massive, $178 billion fund in 2020 meant to help mitigate the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on health care providers, known as the Provider Relief Fund.
The Trump and Biden administrations haven’t always been reliable about sending out the money — or sending it on time. But STAT’s new analysis of a Health and Human Services database of the money reveals where it’s flowing and who has received the most so far.
By far, the largest payments were made to the nation’s biggest hospital systems. Fully five of the top 10 recipients of cash were New York City-area hospitals or health systems; together, they received some $3.1 billion. The New York and Presbyterian Hospital (usually styled “NewYork-Presbyterian”) alone brought in $631 million, topped only by the $1.2 billion that went to the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, a group that operates New York City’s sprawling system of public hospitals and clinics.
STAT is publishing the entire database here in a searchable and sortable format.
Many smaller providers also benefited from the program. Of the 412,591 payments published so far, the median was just $12,530. Ninety percent of all payments were below $192,569.

Mississippi has the highest median payment amount of all states, at $17,563. The median payment in Vermont was the lowest, at $3,802. In Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory with a population greater than 21 states, the median payment was just $1,281. Puerto Rico also received less money overall than any state: $180,788,664 so far.

who figured out how much each hospital would obtain? Probably NY got so much bec then Cuomo was their wonder boy?
Wow!!!!!! My mind is blown right now!!!! I live in a small mountain town in northeast Georgia with a population of just under 300k. The amount of money sent to our area is insane! My doc (the one who wrote “worried about conspiracy theories” in my chart after I was talking to him about the uselessness of masks and the vax) received almost 13k. What for I wonder? For keeping with the fraud? Is it hush money? Is this my doc’s 30 pieces of silver? I can’t wait to ask him.
What is really shocking is the highest award given in Clayton was to a company calling themselves Professional Resources Management of Rabun. They received $4,133,878!!! I had never heard of this company so I did a bit of research (did I just go down my first rabbit hole!?) and found out it’s actually the local hospital. This is the same hospital that has changed names countless times in the 25 years I have lived here. It’s been bought and sold so many times that it’s apparent they are playing the shell game. They are a “hospital” that everyone avoids because it is well known they are a waste of time. Most people here drive 30 mins to an emergency room to avoid going to this sham hospital.
I stopped doing social media when I was shadow banned for trying to tell people the truth. But this is something that people in my county need to know. I think I’ll do a post on the local community Facebook page. Maybe no one sees it or cares, but maybe someone will be just as pissed as I am to see this waste of money. I live in a rural area where most are at the poverty level, or just above. Our area was not hit hard from the virus and there is no justification for any of this. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE MONEY WAS FOR.
It is my understanding that hospitals and health care providers get paid for every “vcxx’ they administer AND every death they can attribute to Covid ($36k – $39k per death from what I’ve heard and read), whether or not the death was from other causes.
