CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 9, § 100
Frequency of Billing and Same Day Billing
RHC and FQHC claims cannot overlap calendar years. Therefore, the statement dates, or
from and through dates of the claim, must always be in the same calendar year.
RHCs and FQHCs billing under the FQHC PPS may submit claims that span multiple
days of service.
FQHCs billing under the PPS must submit all services that are rendered on the same day
on one claim.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
