Medicaid payments are a vital source of revenue for a community health clinic. As a federally qualified health center (FQHC), your practice relies on receiving a steady flow of Medicaid reimbursements.
When it comes to billing, Medicare reimbursement is a vital revenue stream for most federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). Yet many centers are missing out on the additional revenue they’re owed for Medicare Advantage patients.
This is a growing concern for FQHC billing as an increasing number of patients are choosing Medicare Advantage plans. Over the years, most beneficiaries opted for traditional Medicare plans, but a growing percentage of patients are enrolling in Medicare Advantage plans instead.
Are your associates fully up to date on the latest FQHC requirements? In the fast-paced world of healthcare, knowledge quickly goes stale and it’s a constant challenge to stay current.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has a long list of medical billing guidelines for FQHCs and other federally funded health centers. There are also strict FQHC requirements for Medicare, Medicaid, and other government payment sources.
