California FQHC Billing Requirements Stay on the DHCS Watch List
DHCS maintains the core FQHC/RHC reimbursement and billing resources that California clinics rely on for PPS encounters, Medi-Cal managed care billing, and service-line documentation. Treat this as an internal audit prompt: reconcile encounter documentation, billing-code use, managed-care exclusions, and State-Only/UIS patient segmentation before 2027 implementation guidance hardens.
Key takeaways
- Use DHCS FQHC/RHC resources as the baseline for PPS and managed-care billing requirements
- Focus internal review on encounter documentation, billing-code use, and managed-care exclusions
- Keep State-Only/UIS patient segmentation ready for the 2027 implementation horizon
