  • Title: Country living, city income for rural practitioners by implementing the Rural Health Clinics Act.
    Author: Ranney RJ.
    Journal: J Med Pract Manage; 2002; 18(3):153-4. PubMed ID: 12534260.
    Abstract:
    Rural medical practices have historically faced lower reimbursement than their urban counterparts. The relatively little-known Rural Health Clinics Act of 1976 permits a higher level of payment from Medicare and Medicaid through cost-based reimbursement. This article discusses the specifics and requirements of the Act and how practices can qualify and implement the change to rural health clinic participation.
