(6) Provided at the federally qualified health center's practice site, a hospital emergency room, in an inpatient setting, at the patient's place of residence, including long term care facilities, or at another medical facility; and
(7) Within the scope of services provided by the State under its fee-for-service medicaid program and its medicaid managed care program, on and after August 1994, and as amended from time to time.
(b) Contacts with one or more health professionals and multiple contacts with the same health professional that take place on the same day and at a single location constitute a single encounter, except when one of the following conditions exists:
(1) After the first encounter, the patient suffers illness or injury requiring additional diagnosis or treatment; or
(2) The patient makes one or more visits for other services such as dental or behavioral health. Medicaid may pay for a maximum of one visit per day for each of these services in addition to one medical visit.
(c) A federally qualified health center or rural health clinic that provides prenatal services, delivery services, and postnatal services may elect to bill the managed care organization for all such services on a global payment basis.
