Can an FQHC encounter be charged when only seen by a nurse?
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Question: A Medicare patient comes into the health center with their own serum for an allergy shot. The shot was administered by an RN or LPN. The appointment is not a face to face with a core provider (PA, NP, or MD) and the patient is not seen by anyone else but the RN/LPN giving the shot. Can an FQHC encounter be charged?
