The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to have a profound financial impact on health care providers. Many are incurring significant expenses on the front lines of pandemic response at the same time that revenue is sharply declining with the postponement and cancellation of non-essential procedures and visits. The adverse financial impacts are nearly universal amongst providers, although the extent and nature of financial impact varies by provider type, size, and geography. There are, however, several financial resources available to health care providers during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
