Place of Service Billing for Core Services in FQHCs and RHCs

As announced in the May 2014 Medicaid Bulletin (see link below), core services provided by a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and Rural Health Center (RHC) should be billed with a Place of Service (POS) code 50 for the FQHC and POS code 72 for the RHC.

Effective November 2, claims for payment of core services that do not reflect a POS code 50 for the FQHC and POS code 72 for the RHC will be denied with EOB 2689 - FQHC providers must submit POS 50 and RHC providers must submit POS 72 when billing procedure T1015.
