The quarterly updates for the Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi Virtual Visit Billing Guides are now available! This quarter’s update focuses on an important Medicare billing change for Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) providing distant-site telehealth services.

It only changes the billing instructions required to receive reimbursement for such services.

In the CR, CMS directs that medical services provided by an FQHC or RHC via telehealth, effective…”
