Medicare Program; Rural Health Clinics: Amendments to Participation Requirements and Payment Provisions; and Establishment of a Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement Program

The Medicare program is updating its rules for rural health clinics, requiring them to meet new standards for staffing, payment, and quality of care. The changes aim to improve the delivery of primary care services in rural areas and address concerns raised by the public after a proposed rule was released in 2002.
