Encounter Capture
FQHC Medical Billing Services
Stop letting administrative bottlenecks slow your health center down. Our specialized FQHC medical billing services guarantee accurate UDS reporting and accelerated clean claim submissions to protect your revenue.

Secure Your 330 Grant & FQHC Revenue Integrity
Community Health Centers face a regulatory burden unlike any other healthcare model. Balancing a mission-driven clinical approach with the strict compliance mandates of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) requires flawless backend execution.
When your internal billing staff struggles to navigate Prospective Payment System (PPS) rate calculations, Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP) compliance, and Medicaid wrap-around delays, your center bleeds revenue and risks its 330 Grant status.
Revix MD architects closed-loop financial operations specifically for FQHCs, Rural Health Clinics (RHCs), and Community Health Centers (CHCs). We apply our deep operational expertise to align your clinical mission with federal financial standards, ensuring every single qualifying encounter is captured, billed, and fully collected with a guaranteed 97.4% first-pass clean claim rate.

Core FQHC Revenue Solutions
Core Pillar 1: PPS & APM Rate Mastery
FQHC billing is fundamentally different from standard fee-for-service RCM. Claims must be submitted using specific G-codes to trigger the correct Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS) rate or state-specific Alternative Payment Methodology (APM) rate. Our certified FQHC coders ensure absolute precision in encounter capture:
New vs. Established Encounters
We actively audit schedules to ensure new patients (or those with an Initial Preventive Physical Exam) are billed with G0466, capturing the higher base rate, while established patients are properly coded with G0467.
Mental Health Expertise
We capture concurrent revenue for behavioral health services by properly appending G0470 when psychiatric care is delivered on the same day as a medical visit, ensuring you receive your full eligible reimbursement without unbundling denials.
Geographic Adjustment
We ensure your baseline rate correctly incorporates your specific Geographic Adjustment Factor (GAF) before claims are submitted to the clearinghouse.
Core Pillar 2: Sliding Fee Scale & HRSA Compliance
Your Section 330 Grant depends entirely on the compliant administration of your Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP). During an Operational Site Visit (OSV), HRSA auditors will strictly scrutinize how you apply discounts based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG).
Revix MD removes the manual guesswork from your front desk. We automate your sliding fee scale logic within your Practice Management (PM) system.
- We ensure that nominal fees are collected correctly, patient income verification dates are tracked rigidly, and sliding fee adjustments are posted to the ledger with exact, auditable transaction codes.
- If HRSA audits your facility tomorrow, your financial data will perfectly mirror your approved board policies.
Core Pillar 3: Medicaid Wrap-Around Payment Recovery
When an FQHC treats a patient covered by a Medicaid Managed Care Organization (MCO), the MCO rarely pays the full encounter rate. State Medicaid agencies are legally required to pay a supplemental “wrap-around” payment to cover the difference between the MCO reimbursement and your guaranteed PPS rate.
However, tracking these fractional payments manually is a primary source of revenue leakage for health centers. We aggressively pursue these funds. Using a specialized shadow-billing ledger, our RPA (Robotic Process Automation) bots reconcile every single MCO-adjudicated claim against your state’s exact PPS rate. We batch and file wrap-around claims automatically, reducing your recovery timeline from 90 days to 1 week to 15 days and flooding your center with previously abandoned cash flow.
Core Pillar 4: 340B Drug Program Coordination
The 340B drug pricing program provides critical margins for community health centers, but it introduces massive compliance risks regarding duplicate discounts. Federal law strictly prohibits a manufacturer from providing a 340B discount and a Medicaid rebate on the same drug.
We manage the complex billing interactions between your contract pharmacy program and your FQHC status. Our clearinghouse engines are programmed to automatically append the correct modifiers (such as Modifier UD or JG) to identify drugs acquired through the HRSA 340B Drug Pricing Program on Medicaid claims. We protect your “covered entity” status by ensuring absolute compliance with Medicaid carve-in/carve-out rules and GPO prohibitions.
Core Pillar 5: UDS Reporting & SDOH Coding
Your annual Uniform Data System (UDS) reporting dictates your future federal funding. Manual data aggregation at the end of the year results in corrupted data and stressed administrative staff. Revix MD builds UDS compliance directly into your daily revenue cycle.
Real-Time Data Mapping
We map all financial data, encounter codes, and demographic inputs cleanly throughout the year, ensuring your data is instantly ready for HRSA submission by the February 15th deadline.
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
We train your providers to document patient complexity using specific Z-codes (e.g., Z59.0 for homelessness, Z59.4 for food insecurity). Accurately capturing SDOH not only justifies higher clinical complexity and protects your center during audits, but it provides the hard data required to win specialized grant allocations.
Your Path to Financial Stability Starts in Just 1 to 15 Days
Transitioning your FQHC billing from an internal team to a specialized RCM partner must be handled with surgical precision to protect your cash flow. We execute a chronologically flawless 1-week to 15-day onboarding sequence.

PPS Discovery & Wrap-Around Audit
We analyze your current Medicare/Medicaid encounter capture rates, identify historical wrap-around payment lags, and audit your existing sliding fee scale logic for HRSA compliance.
Days 4-7
EHR & Clearinghouse Expertise

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Medicare FQHC PPS base payment rate for 2026?
As of January 1, 2026, the national Medicare FQHC PPS base payment rate is updated to $207.72, representing a 2.5% market basket increase. Revix MD ensures your system dynamically updates to capture this full base rate, automatically multiplied by your specific Geographic Adjustment Factor (GAF).
How do you handle new vs. established patient PPS rate differences?
CMS pays a higher PPS rate for new patient encounters (or an IPPE). We implement front-end system triggers and clearinghouse logic to ensure these encounters are flagged and billed correctly with G0466, definitively preventing the revenue loss that occurs when new patients are mistakenly billed at established rates (G0467).
Do you support 340B program billing coordination?
Yes. We ensure that claims for 340B-acquired drugs are identified with the correct federal and state-specific modifiers (e.g., UD) to prevent illegal duplicate discounts. This ensures your pharmacy program remains strictly compliant with HRSA and manufacturer requirements.
Can FQHCs bill for Behavioral Health Integration (BHI)?
Yes. CMS allows optional add-on codes (G0568-G0570) for BHI and Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) services when provided in conjunction with Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM). We automate this bundling logic to prevent technical unbundling rejections from the clearinghouse.
How does Revix MD handle 'Shadow Claims' for wrap-around payments?
We utilize a specialized robotic tracking ledger to reconcile every MCO-adjudicated claim against your state’s full PPS target rate. If a shortfall exists, the system automatically generates a secondary “shadow claim” to the state, ensuring your supplemental wrap payments are recovered within 1 week to 15 days.
What happens during an HRSA Operational Site Visit (OSV) audit?
We provide comprehensive data support. Our operations team pulls the exact sliding fee scale application logs, encounter data, and UDS financial snapshots required by federal auditors to prove absolute financial and clinical alignment with your Section 330 Grant requirements.
