Section 410-147-0340 - Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics Provider Numbers

(1) Pursuant to National Provider Identifier (NPI) requirements in 45 CFR Part 162 providers must use a NPI, and in specific situations associated taxonomy code(s), when billing the Division of Medical Assistance Programs (Division).

(2) A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) or Rural Health Clinic (RHC) shall register the NPI number and associated taxonomy code, obtained for the FQHC or RHC at the time of enrollment. Multiple sites are not separately enrolled, unless each site has a different tax identification number.

(3) The Division may grant an exception to section (2) of this rule upon written request to the Division of Medical Assistance Programs - Attn: FQHC/RHC Program Manager. The request must include a detailed explanation describing the:

(a) Need for separate enrollment of an additional site; and

(b) Mechanisms in place to assure no duplication of billings.

(4) If the Division finds evidence of duplicate or inappropriate billing resulting from provider misuse under multiple enrollments, the Division may terminate the exception upon written notice to the clinic.

(5) If the Division grants an exception to section (2) of this rule, the Division shall separately enroll each clinic site. When granted multiple provider enrollments, clinics must register:

(a) A separate NPI number for each clinic; or

(b) One NPI number and separate taxonomy codes for each clinic.

(6) If an FQHC or RHC has several clinic sites and one or more of the clinics are not designated as an FQHC or RHC, the non-FQHC or non-RHC (each individual clinic) must:

(a) Enroll as a billing provider; and

(b) Each practitioner must individually enroll.

(7) Upon enrollment and each October thereafter, FQHCs and RHCs must submit to the Division:

(a) A list including names and NPI numbers of individual practitioners associated with the FQHC/RHC; and

(b) A list including business names, addresses and facility NPI numbers for all Division-enrolled clinics affiliated or owned by the FQHC or RHC including any clinics that do not have FQHC or RHC status

(8) An FQHC or RHC that operates a retail pharmacy, provides durable medical equipment (DME), prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS), must enroll separately as a pharmacy and/or DMEPOS provider. Refer to OAR chapter 410, division 121, Pharmaceutical and OAR chapter 410, division 122, DMEPOS; for specific information. These services are not billed under FQHC or RHC enrollment.

(9) The Division shall coincide registration of a clinic's NPI number and associated taxonomy codes if applicable, effective the date of enrollment with the Division as an FQHC or RHC, and after the encounter rate is established.

(10) Prepaid Health Plans (PHP) are required to report all PHP encounters using the FQHC/RHC's NPI and associated taxonomy code, if required, and not individual practitioner NPI numbers and taxonomy codes.
