Additional Considerations for Replacing a Site in Scope


While the following areas are not specific
factors or criteria that will impact the CIS approval process, these are key elements that health centers should have considered or actively planned to address prior to replacing a current site in scope with a new site.


A. Medical Malpractice Coverage: Your health center must develop plans for any providers that will provide services on behalf of the health center at the replacement site (e.g., extension of FTCA coverage, private malpractice coverage). Respond to the following as applicable:

For grantees deemed under the FTCA, have you reviewed the FTCA Health Center Policy Manual or if appropriate, consulted with BPHC to assure the applicability of FTCA coverage for the replacement site?

The FTCA Health Center Policy Manual is available at:
http://www.bphc.hrsa.gov/policiesregulations/policies/pin201101.html For specific questions, contact the BPHC HelpLine at: 1-877-974-BPHC (2742) or Email: [email protected]. Available Monday to Friday (excluding Federal holidays), from 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM (ET), with extra hours available during high volume periods.




Shape89 Yes

Shape90 Not Applicable, health center is not deemed or FTCA coverage does not apply.





If you selected “Not Applicable” respond to the question below.



For health centers not deemed under the FTCA or if FTCA coverage is not applicable to the site, have you developed a plan for medical malpractice coverage?







Shape91 Yes

Shape92 No





Briefly explain your response:



Maximum paragraph(s) allowed approximately: 3 (3000 character(s) remaining)
Shape93



B. Section 340B Drug Pricing Program Participation: Health centers that participate in the 340B Drug Pricing Program are reminded that changes to the scope of project approved by BPHC do not automatically update within the 340B Program’s Database. Health centers should contact the HRSA Office of Pharmacy Affairs to determine whether any updates to the 340B Database are necessary by contacting Apexus Answers at 888-340-2787, or [email protected].

Will your health center complete all necessary 340B Program updates with the HRSA Office of Pharmacy Affairs?

Shape98 Yes

Shape99 Not Applicable





Briefly explain your response:



Maximum paragraph(s) allowed approximately: 3 (3000 character(s) remaining)
Shape100



D. Reimbursement as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) under Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP:

Services provided at sites that are included under a health center’s HRSA-approved “scope of project” are generally eligible for reimbursement by Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP under the FQHC payment systems. When a health center receives HRSA approval to remove a site from its scope of project, it must cease billing for services provided at this site under these FQHC payment systems as of the date that the site was removed from scope. The health center is also responsible for informing Medicare and Medicaid that the site has been removed from scope and is no longer eligible for reimbursement under the FQHC payment systems.

Will your health center stop billing Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP under the FQHC payment system for services provided at this the current site that will be replaced effective on the date that the site was approved to be removed from your scope of project?







Shape101 Yes

Shape102 Not Applicable





Briefly explain your response:



Maximum paragraph(s) allowed approximately: 3 (3000 character(s) remaining)
Shape103



Will your health center contact Medicare and Medicaid to inform them that the current site is no longer within your scope of project and therefore no longer eligible for reimbursement under the FQHC reimbursement systems?
For Medicare, health centers should contact the enrollment office at their Medicare Administrative Contractor; for Medicaid, health centers should contact the enrollment office at their State Medicaid Agency).







Shape104 Yes

Health centers are required to submit a separate Medicare enrollment application for each “permanent unit” at which they provide services. This includes units considered both “permanent sites” and “seasonal sites” under their HRSA scope of project, but not mobile vans. Health centers are also required to bill each service to Medicare using the unique Medicare Billing Number assigned to the site at which it was provided. Specifically, health centers must inform Medicare of any change of address for a permanent or seasonal site within 90 days of the change. This is done by submitting an updated Medicare Enrollment Application, Form 855A, for the replacement site that has been added to scope, to their Medicare Administrative Contractor. Form 855A is available at https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/CMS-Forms/CMS-Forms/downloads//cms855a.pdf. For further information on the Medicare enrollment application process, review Program Assistance Letter 2011-04: Process for Becoming Eligible for Medicare Reimbursement under the FQHC Benefit available at: http://www.bphc.hrsa.gov/policiesregulations/policies/pal201104.html.

In addition, many state Medicaid programs also require all permanent and seasonal sites to enroll individually and bill using a site-specific billing number. For further information about the requirements in a state, health centers should contact their Primary Care Association or State Medicaid Agency.

Will your health center submit an updated Medicare enrollment application for the replacement site to the appropriate Medicare Administrative Contractor as soon as possible after HRSA’s approval of the Change in Scope, and bill for services provided at this site using that site’s unique Medicare Billing Number?







Shape108 Yes

Shape109 Not Applicable





Briefly explain your response:



Maximum paragraph(s) allowed approximately: 3 (3000 character(s) remaining)

Shape111 Yes

Shape112 Not Applicable





Briefly explain your response:



Maximum paragraph(s) allowed approximately: 3 (3000 character(s) remaining)
Shape113



E. National Health Service Corps Program Participation:
Health centers that participate in the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) are reminded that all NHSC providers must continue to work ONLY at an approved site within the health center's scope of project. Note that there may be some sites within a health center’s scope of project that are not NHSC-eligible (see the Eligibility Requirements and Qualification Factors section of the NHSC Site Reference Guide at http://nhsc.hrsa.gov/downloads/sitereference.pdf for information on eligible and non-eligible NHSC sites) and that the NHSC must be kept aware of all changes in site addresses.
NHSC sites and participants may contact the NHSC through the Customer Service Portal (https://programportal.hrsa.gov/extranet/landing.seam) or through the Customer Care Center by calling 1-800-221-9393.

In replacing this site and changing your scope of project, has your health center assessed the impact on any NHSC participants that are working at the current site or will be asked to work at this the replacement site and advised them that they will need to contact the NHSC and seek a site reassignment prior to beginning work at this new site?







Shape114 Yes

Shape115 Not Applicable, health center does not have any NHSC Participants at the current site and/or will not place any NHSC Participants at the replacement site.
