(Recorded Webinar) Referral Agreements and the Health Center Program

Duration: 60 minutes
Recorded on: 03/29/2023

Do you need support navigating the HRSA requirements regarding referral agreements?  Do you want to learn strategies to confirm that your health center’s referral agreements include the required elements?

Confusion regarding referral agreements in the health center program is common and is often the basis for non-compliance findings.  

During this webinar the presenter will summarize the required elements of referral agreements, with a deep dive into certain elements that often are misunderstood, such as the referral provider’s obligation to discount fees.  The presenter will share strategies to achieve compliance and will provide a broad referral agreement checklist, as well as several sample terms. 

In this webinar, the presenter discusses the answers to commonly asked questions, like: 

  • Are written referral agreements required for each referral relationship?
  • Do the requirements applicable to referral agreements extend to a health center’s inpatient continuity of care arrangements?
  • What are the necessary elements of a referral agreement?
  • Must the referral provider discount its fees?
  • How do I distinguish a referral agreement (i.e., Form 5A column III) from a contract (i.e., Form 5A column II) for in-scope services?

Target Audience

  • Health Center Executive Staff
  • Administrative/Operations Leadership and Staff
  • Compliance Officers
  • Contract Management Staff
  • Other Staff Assisting with HRSA Compliance and/or OSV Preparation

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
