Ryder Memorial Hospital’s FEMA Public Assistance Program

Humacao, Puerto Rico

The Ryder Memorial Hospital Inc. contracted CSA to provide specialized staff to assist Ryder Memorial Hospital personnel with their FEMA Public Assistance Program claims. The assistance was sought following the Presidential Declared Disasters, specifically DR-4336, and DR-4339, in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma on September 6, 2017, and Hurricane Maria on September 20, 2017. CSA’s role involved compiling the applicant’s documentation and organizing the documents under the FEMA Public Assistance Program Categories A, B, and E.

Following the completion of the project formulation task where we identified and classified the costs incurred by Ryder according to FEMA’s categories, the work completed task where we formulated project worksheets for reimbursement of eligible costs incurred, and meetings with FEMA; Ryder Memorial Hospital received over $2 million in reimbursements for the expenses incurred during the emergency period. Overall, CSA’s assistance in compiling and organizing documentation and their involvement in the reimbursement process played a significant role in helping Ryder Memorial Hospital secure the necessary funds to cover reimbursable expenses resulting from the declared disasters.
