Yes. EPs working in FQHCs or RHCs may meet the 30% volume requirement through a combination of Medicaid and “needy individual” encounters. Needy individual encounters are those encounters funded in part or in whole by MO HealthNet, MO HealthNet for Kids, uncompensated care or patient payment based on a sliding scale.
