Section 405IAC5-16-5. Rural health clinics and federally qualified health clinics; reimbursement

   Medicaid reimbursement is available to rural health clinics (RHCs) and federally qualified health clinics (FQHCs) for services provided by the following providers:

(1) A physician.

(2) A physician assistant.

(3) A nurse practitioner.

(4) A clinical psychologist.

(5) A clinical social worker.

Reimbursement is also available for services and supplies incident to such services as would otherwise be covered if furnished by a physician or as an incident to a physician's services. Services to a homebound individual are only available in the case of those FQHCs that are located in an area that has a shortage of home health agencies as determined by the office. Any other ambulatory service included in the Medicaid state plan is considered a covered FQHC service if the FQHC offers such a service. FQHC services are defined the same as the services provided by RHCs.
