Definition of a Visit

A FQHC or RHC visit is defined as a medically-necessary, face-to-face (one-on-one) encounter between the patient and a physician, NP, PA, CNM, CP, or a CSW during which time one or more FQHC or RHC services are rendered. A Wellness Visit (Health Check/EPSDT) or Transitional Care Management (TCM) services can also be considered a FQHC or RHC visit. A FQHC or RHC visit can also be a visit between a home-bound patient and an RN or LPN under certain conditions. See section 960.1 of this chapter for information on visiting nursing services to home-bound patients.
