FQHCs in Medicaid: PPS Rates, Rate Adjustments, and Beyond

August 21, 2025

This webinar is designed to provide a clear 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 the rate is calculated and what the rate covers is important for health centers as they seek to add or modify their Medicaid-covered services and obtain rate adjustments to account for changes in the scope of Medicaid services provided. 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 training 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 Training Plan subscribers. For more information on our Health Center Compliance Training plan, click here or contact us.


The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase after the conclusion of the live webinar.
