The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published proposed new rules [PDF] affecting rural health clinics (RHCs) and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). The proposed rul would:
- Establish location requirements and exception criteria for RHCs,
- Revise the RHC and FQHC payment methodology,
- Require RHCs to establish a quality assessment and performance improvement program, and
- Allow RHCs to contract with RHC nonphysician providers under certain circumstances.
CMS has posted a news release about the proposal on its Web site.
Send your comments or concerns to rural@texmed.org. TMA will submit comments to CMS by the Aug. 27 deadline.
