Contracts and Memorandums of Understanding – Requirements and Responsibilities

Federally Qualified Health Centers must provide all required primary, preventive and enabling health services, in addition to additional health services, as appropriate and necessary. This can be managed either directly through health center employees and volunteers, or through formal written contracts and formal written referral arrangements.

It is important for health centers to understand that contracts and formal written referral arrangements are not just a piece of paper and not only come with requirements, but also responsibilities on the part of both the health center and the contracted/referral provider(s).
This webinar will address the following:

• HRSA required clinical language for Column II contracts and Column III formal written referral arrangements
• The responsibilities of the health center and the contracted/referral provider
• A high-level review of the clinical chapters associated with Column II and Column III contracts
• Case studies demonstrating gaps in care creating areas of significant risk
• Best Practices to ensure appropriate continuity and quality of care
