RHTP Awards

The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) recently announced the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) awards. This vital funding will empower healthcare providers and community organizations to expand access to care across rural South Carolina.

Securing a portion of this $200 million statewide federal funding allocation is a massive achievement, but it also triggers strict regulatory oversight. Whether your organization received sub-awards for Connections to Care digital upgrades, Leveling Up workforce pilots, Wellness Within Reach mobile units, or Shoring Up to Sustainability facility modernization, managing these complex funds requires precise financial execution.

Navigating Federal Compliance

Receiving the award is just the beginning. Successfully navigating federal compliance requires rigorous financial oversight, robust documentation, tight internal controls, and ongoing monitoring to ensure every dollar is tracking to your specific initiative.

FAQs

What financial requirements come with receiving Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding?

Organizations that receive RHTP funding must follow state and federal grant requirements, including maintaining detailed financial records, documenting allowable expenses, implementing appropriate internal controls, and submitting accurate financial reports. Strong oversight helps demonstrate that grant funds are being used for their intended purpose and prepares your organization for future monitoring or audits.

How can healthcare organizations stay compliant with RHTP grant requirements?

Maintaining compliance starts with establishing clear financial processes. This includes creating initiative-specific budgets, tracking expenses separately, documenting payroll allocations, maintaining supporting documentation, reviewing internal controls, and monitoring spending throughout the grant period. Working with advisors who understand healthcare grant compliance can help reduce risk and keep reporting on schedule.

How can outsourced accounting services help healthcare organizations manage RHTP funding?

Healthcare organizations often seek assistance with grant budgeting, financial reporting, payroll allocation, internal controls, policy development, audit preparation, and ongoing compliance monitoring. These services help leadership maintain confidence that funding is being managed appropriately while allowing staff to stay focused on expanding patient care and meeting program goals.

Can outsourced accounting support help with Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) compliance?

Yes. Many healthcare organizations have experienced finance teams, but managing a new federal grant can place additional demands on staff and resources. Outsourced accounting and advisory support can help your organization establish initiative-specific budgets, track grant expenditures, allocate payroll costs, strengthen internal controls, prepare required financial reports, and maintain documentation for audit readiness.

Whether you need ongoing support or assistance with a specific aspect of grant compliance, working with advisors who understand healthcare organizations and grant funding requirements can help reduce administrative burden while keeping your organization focused on delivering care to your community.
