Summary


The Department received comments from the Association for Utah Community Health in August 2015, after filing an amendment to incorporate all Medicaid provider manuals by reference to 07/01/2015. The comments noted inaccuracies regarding non-required services in the Rural Health Clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) Services Provider Manual, and suggested that "required primary health services" be consistent with federal regulations. The comments also recommended the Department clarify that FQHCs are not subject to regulations under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act because, like rural health clinics, they do not have emergency departments. The comments also noted a technical error in the manual regarding immunizations.
