LANSING, Mich. — Michigan’s top health official says nursing homes are accurately reporting the number of coronavirus-related deaths, amid questions over whether the tally is low.
Elizabeth Hertel, director of the state Department of Health and Human Services, told lawmakers Thursday that nursing homes have no “reason or incentive to try to hide” deaths.
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee held the hearing after Detroit-area journalist Charlie LeDuff and the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation questioned if there is an undercount. ....

HHS commits $4.8B for testing uninsured people for COVID-19


Providers will be able to bill the program for any COVID-19 tests given to individuals without insurance.
The Biden administration s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan was enacted earlier this year, but the department has made announcements on a rolling basis as the law’s funding is implemented. 
Last year s Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act previously funded the uninsured testing program, with each designating $1 billion for provider reimbursements, generally at Medicare rates. Some money from the Provider Relief Fund program also went to the testing initiative. 
The program has provided almost $4 billion in COVID-19 testing-specific reimbursements as of last week. ....
