Webinar: The Rural Health Clinic Advantage: Leveraging the RHC Designation for Financial Success

Presented by: Rubin Brown as part of the Missouri Rural Health Association Lunch and Learn Webinar Series

Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) play a vital role in expanding access to care in underserved areas—and they offer significant reimbursement advantages. However, many providers are not fully leveraging the opportunities that RHC status can provide. This session will focus on the financial benefits of becoming an RHC, how to determine if the designation is the right fit for your organization and how to optimize these opportunities. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the key reimbursement mechanisms tied to RHC status, including cost report strategies, billing and coding requirements, and how to avoid common pitfalls that lead to lost revenue. Through real-life examples from RHCs across the country, we’ll highlight how clinics have improved reimbursement, enhanced sustainability, and brought more value to their communities by leveraging their RHC designation more effectively. Whether you’re exploring the potential of becoming an RHC or looking to strengthen the financial performance of an existing clinic, this session offers practical insight you can act on.
