ForwardFocus on Finance: Sliding Fee Discount & Billing and Collections
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Many of the most challenging requirements in the Health Center Compliance Manual are related to maintaining a Sliding Fee Discount Schedule (SFDS) that ensures access to care. The SFDS requirements must be reflected in health center policies, while incorporating elements outlined in the billing and collection requirements- these factors can make this a ‘high risk’ area for compliance. This webinar will review the current requirements and provide guidance on how to develop compliant SFDS and Billing & Collections policies and procedures.
SERIES DESCRIPTION
With the release of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Health Center Program Compliance Manual in 2017, FQHCs were ushered into a new era of health center compliance. The new Manual reaches beyond the longstanding “19 program requirements” and identifies over 90 distinct required compliance elements. To address all of these elements, health centers need robust policies, procedures, and systems to monitor and report on these compliance elements and improve performance on an ongoing basis.
In this webinar series, the Community Health Center Association of New York State (CHCANYS) invited industry experts including CohnReznick, attorneys from Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP, and HRSA Consultants to present detailed guidance and resources to enhance your organizational approach as well as recommended strategies for achieving continuous compliance.
* The live webinar series was hosted by CHCANYS in Fall 2018
