Rural Health Clinics (RHCs)

Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) are healthcare facilities located in rural areas to provide medical services to communities that may be underserved. They focus on primary care and preventive services, making healthcare more accessible to residents. RHCs often offer a range of services, including check-ups, immunizations, and treatment for minor injuries or illnesses. They usually operate under specific regulations that allow them to receive enhanced reimbursement rates from Medicare and Medicaid, helping to ensure that these facilities can maintain operations and serve the local population effectively.
