The FEMA Medical Care Policy allows for funding of eligible medical care activities and associated costs in primary medical care facilities. While the Applicant requests FEMA treat this instance similar to a contractor providing services after a disaster, it has not contracted with a medical provider to carry out eligible work as, again, the Applicant did not perform eligible work in an eligible facility under this policy.

The Applicant has not demonstrated that claimed medical care and FAL OT costs are eligible emergency protective measures in response to COVID-19. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
