A provider is looking to open an FQHC location in a different town from where the currently FQHC office is located.
(1) Wouldn't the new location need to be credentialed and approved before seeing patients at this location?
(2) Or would it be ok to bill under the FQHC tax id for the main office until the new location has been established and approved?

If you are able to answer these questions, can you please provide where I can find these answers on CMS so that I can back up my response to the provider.

Thank you in advance.
 
I would strongly suggest calling HRSA and speaking with them on this question. The provider needs to be careful that they follow all of the rules precisely to avoid losing their FQHC status. I would assume that the new location would require it's own certification but HRSA would be the final word.
 
The new location would need approval form HRSA as well as it's own Medicare part "A" and "B" enrollments.
