CMS Publishes Annual Proposed Rules with Significant RHC Provision

On July 10, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the 2024 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) Proposed Rule.

This annual rule provides regulatory updates to the fee schedule and contains a significant section specifically for Rural Health Clinics (RHCs).

The National Association of Rural Health Clinics (NARHC) will be analyzing all the RHC and related provisions and providing a full summary over the next few weeks and will later submit comments on behalf of the RHC community. If finalized, these changes would go into effect January 1, 2025.
