How to Participate in West Virginia

Steps for healthcare organizations to access RHTP funding through West Virginia's programs.

Lead State Agency
West Virginia Department of Health
Visit agency website
Identify Your Role
Determine if your organization is eligible: hospitals, clinics, community health centers, health plans, and other rural healthcare providers can participate through state sub-awards.
Review State Plans
Read your state's RHTP application and initiative plans to understand which programs align with your organization's services and needs.
Engage With Your State Agency
Contact the lead state agency managing RHTP implementation. Attend stakeholder sessions and register for procurement notifications.
Respond to RFPs
When your state releases Requests for Proposals for RHTP sub-awards, submit applications aligned with the CMS goal buckets your state prioritizes.
Prepare for Compliance
Set up systems for quarterly reporting, outcome metric tracking, and financial audits required by CMS. Organizations receiving $750K+ need single audit capability.

Note: RHTP funds flow from CMS to state agencies, which then distribute to providers through sub-awards and contracts. Direct federal applications are not accepted — participation is through your state's program.
