National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC)
Year-long NACHC webinar series covering 2026 CMS policy updates affecting FQHC PPS billing, UDS reporting, ICD-10 changes, and State-Only/UIS payment-planning questions. Critical RCM training for billing, coding, and compliance staff.
National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC)
A six-session NACHC webinar series (July 15 through Dec 3, 2026) walking health-center leaders, care teams, and eligibility/enrollment staff through the Medicaid changes under H.R. 1 — the new 80-hours/month community-engagement (work) requirements, redetermination and verification changes, and the CMS interim final rule — ahead of the January 1, 2027 implementation cliff. Practical focus on minimizing coverage disruption for patients.
California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI)
The CA-SLRP application window opens July 15, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. and closes September 15, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Eligible providers — primary care physicians, dentists, dental hygienists, PAs, NPs, CNMs, pharmacists, and mental/behavioral health providers at California HPSA sites (FQHCs are the canonical auto-HPSA sites) — receive loan repayment in exchange for a service commitment. HCAI's prior cycle made $6.23M in awards. With the federal NHSC FY2026 cycle already closed (March 31) and the December 2026 NHSC funding cliff looming, CA-SLRP is the live state-side loan-repayment recruiting lever this summer. It opens the same day the HCAI MBH-RRP behavioral-health retention window closes.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

The rule also carries proposed Medicare Shared Savings Program changes and a Request for Information on primary care capitated payment within MSSP. One caution: the health-center-specific provisions that secondary summaries attribute to this rule — stand-alone billable status for diabetes self-management training, and a telehealth extension — are not confirmed in the rule text. Read the proposed rule itself, or confirm with your MAC, before building any revenue assumption on them.
