Rural Health
Rural Americans face different health disparities than urban Americans requiring the need for different rules and programs. National Rural Health Association’s Policy Institute helps facilitate state offices with their individual rural communities to remove barriers to healthcare access. The purpose is to ensure enough healthcare access and healthcare delivery systems to promote a healthy rural America.
- All state Medicaid programs are required to recognize RHC service
- RHC is exempt from the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)
- RHCs are in non-urbanized areas
- For policy and advocacy issues: National Association of Rural Health Clinics (NARHC) Telephone: 866.306.1961
