CMS Adjusts Care Coordination Services Payment for RHCs and FQHCs

CMS published a notification on adjustments in payments for certain claims for Rural Health Clinic (RHC) and Federal Qualified Health Center (FQHC) care coordination services that were incorrectly paid the national Physician Fee Schedule non-facility payment rate, adjusted for geographic differences. CMS clarified that these services should not be geographically adjusted. The Medicare Administrative Contractors will adjust claims for these services with dates of service on or after January 1, 2025.
