Company that received COVID-19 relief money for closed hospital says DOJ is investigating
The troubled hospital company that received $121,000 in federal COVID-19 relief money for a closed hospital said last week the Department of Justice inquired about the money.
The Jamestown Regional Medical Center closed in June 2019 but received $121,722 in provider relief funds in 2020, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
According to its annual financial filing last week, Rennova Health said the Justice Department sent it questions about the provider relief money — and additional funding it received through PPP loans — in the form of a civil investigation inquiry.
"There is no allegation of wrongdoing and no indication that any liability will materialize," the company's filing said. "The company is confident that all PPP notes and HHS Provider Relief funds monies were appropriately utilized and accounted for and believes that provision of the details and records will provide satisfactory answers to the inquiry."
Following 10News reporting on the funds for the closed hospital in 2020, the Department of Health and Human Services said it would "force repayment," but provided no details on how it would do so.
