Attached is a newly released document prepared by CMS (it is
also available on the CMS website) outlining coverage for ALL preventive
services provided in the RHC. This comprehensive list makes clear
that other than Diabetes Education and Medical Nutrition Therapy – ALL
preventive services otherwise covered by Medicare are covered if provided in an
RHC as a stand-alone service. If these services (other than the IPPE) are
provided in conjunction with another billable visit, the RHC only gets one visit
but the important point is that they can be provided as stand-alone visits and
will be paid at the AIR.
