Fiscal Compliance
Written By Kyle Vath

HRSA Site Visit Protocol, Chapter 9: Sliding Fee Discount Program, Element e., requires health centers to “incorporate the current FPG in the calculations for all of the discount pay classes in the health center’s current Sliding Fee Discount Scale(s).”

Each year, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation releases the new Federal Poverty Guidelines posted here.

Health centers must remember to update all associated documents with the new Federal Poverty Guidelines as soon as possible to stay continuously HRSA compliant. If our team of health center experts can help you in any way, please contact us here today.
