Telehealth Grant Opportunities for Non-Profit and Publicly Owned RHCs

04/14/2020

The CARES Act included $200 million in funding (via grants) to help health care providers establish telehealth services and non-profit/publicly owned RHCs are eligible to apply for these grants. The grant money can be used to “purchase telecommunications, information services, and connected devices to provide connected care services in response to the coronavirus pandemic.”

This program is administered by the Federal Communications Commission and you can apply today.

To be clear, do not apply for this if you are a for-profit RHC.

For the non-profit/publicly owned RHCs that are interested you should start here: https://www.fcc.gov/covid-19-telehealth-program

There is a video explaining how to apply from the FCC on youtube here:
