Session #3: Behavioral Health Services for RHC - 2:15pm - 3:15pm
There have been changes to the definition of an RHC encounter specifically related to Behavioral Health.  In addition, a CMS final rule expanding providers eligible general supervision and the Federal Omnibus Spending bill have significant impact on RHCs.  This session will explore these changes and provide a timeline for their implementation.
