CMS Removes 51% Primary Care Threshold for RHCs – Effective 1/1/2025!
Big News for Rural Health Clinics (RHCs)!
Effective January 1, 2025, CMS is removing the 51% threshold requirement that previously measured the proportion of Primary Care services delivered by RHCs.
While this threshold is going away, RHCs must still provide Primary Care Services and cannot operate as a Rehabilitation Agency or as an entity primarily treating mental diseases.
This change offers more flexibility in service delivery while still ensuring that RHCs maintain their focus on comprehensive primary care.
