4Can tribal clinics be treated as Federally
Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) for the Medicaid
EHR Incentive Program?
- CMS previously issued guidance stating that
health care facilities owned and operated by
American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and
tribal organizations ("tribal clinics") with
funding authorized by the Indian
Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act
(Public Law 93-638, as amended) must be
reimbursed as FQHCs in order to be considered
FQHCs in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program. CMS
revised this policy and will allow any such
tribal clinics to be considered as FQHCs for the
Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, regardless of
their reimbursement arrangements.
