9 hospitals return $166.5M in CARES Act payments

Congress allocated $175 billion in relief aid to hospitals and other healthcare providers to cover expenses and lost revenues tied to the COVID-19 pandemic, a portion of which was dedicated to hospitals hardest hit by the pandemic. 

HHS has distributed $12 billion in COVID-19 high-impact payments to hospitals that treated large numbers of COVID-19 patients. In May and June, nine hospitals declined their high-impact payments and returned the funds, according to COVID-19 Stimulus Watch
