Abstract
<div class="line" id="line-5"> Some clinics that are located in federally‐defined “non‐urbanized” areas may decide it is in their best interests to convert to a certified Rural Health Clinic. The decision to convert should only be made following a thorough education on the RHC model and careful assessment of community needs and resources (including what may be gained and what may be lost during the conversion). Topics covered in this session will include overview of the Rural Health Clinic model and program, differences between FQHCs and RHCs, RHC site qualification criteria, feasibility analysis, process for filing RHC application, preparing for certification inspection, cost reports, coding and billing issues, policies and procedures, capacity/staffing needs, costs as well as benefits, lessons learned, revenue projections, program reports, future changes, etc.</div>
