Use This Resource for Federally Qualified Health Center Compliance
Published on Fri Aug 13, 2021
Question: I work at a FQHC and am preparing for a potential audit. Did the rules change at all during the pandemic? Where can I find the rules for compliance? Minnesota Subscriber Answer: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services changed some requirements and payments for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) for the duration of the public health emergency (PHE) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You can find the latest version of the PHE-specific requirements here www.cms.gov/files/document/03092020-covid-19-faqs-508.pdf. Otherwise, a good regular source for information for FQHCs can be found here www.cms.gov/Center/Provider-Type/Federally-Qualified-Health-Centers-FQHC-Center.
