Workforce, Nondiscrimination, and Other Final Rules with Impacts for RHCs

Over the last several weeks, the HHS Office of Civil Rights (OCR), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Department of Labor (DOL), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) all released massive final rules covering policies ranging from overtime eligibility to nondiscrimination to Medicaid access and transparency. NARHC has compiled initial summaries of each rule of impact and interest to the RHC community. Please see each notable rule linked below. ·Medicaid Access and Transparency Medicaid Fee-For-Service Medicaid Managed Care ·HHS Rule Nondiscrimination: Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act ·Workforce Noncompete Ban Overtime Eligibility We anticipate that the RHC community will have numerous questions regarding these rules and associated requirements. Stay tuned for continued resources. Please contact Sarah.Hohman@narhc.org with any questions. Sincerely, National Association of Rural Health Clinics
