FQHCs in Medicaid: PPS Rates and Beyond

March 17, 2022

Access the on-demand webinar here.


This webinar is intended to convey an understanding of a health center’s Medicaid per visit rate, whether that rate is derived from a prospective payment system (“PPS”) methodology or alternative payment methodology (“APM”).  Knowing how that rate is calculated and what that rate covers is important for health centers as they seek to add or modify their Medicaid-covered services. It is also especially important for compliance professionals to understand what scope of services are covered by the Medicaid per visit rate to ensure that billing is in compliance with federal requirements. The webinar will also cover significant legal protections that apply to the payment of a health center’s per visit rate under federal law. 


Please note: This webinar is offered as a complimentary product to all Health Center Compliance Premium Plan Subscribers. For more information on our Premium Plan, click here or Contact Us.
