Medicare and Medicaid programs: limit on payment for services of independent rural health clinics--Health Care Financing Administration. Proposed notice.
This notice proposes a revised upper limit on Medicare and Medicaid rates of payment for rural health clinic services furnished by clinics that are not part of a hospital, skilled nursing facility, or home health agency. The amount of the proposed limit is $32.10 per visit. This new limit would be effective for clinic reporting periods beginning on or after March 1, 1980, and would replace the current limit of $27.30 per visit that was set forth in a notice published in the Federal Register on September 21, 1978 (43 FR 42787). In setting the proposed limit, we followed the methodology described in the September 21, 1978 notice, but applied that methodology to more recent data.
