RHC Services
At North American HMS, we work alongside Rural Health Clinics and rural healthcare organizations to help navigate challenges, improve performance, and find practical solutions.
RHC Impact Analysis
Is Becoming an RHC Right for You?
Becoming a Rural Health Clinic can create new opportunities, but it’s important to understand the impact before making the decision.
That’s where we start.
Our RHC Impact Analysis helps you understand what RHC status could mean financially and operationally for your organization.
We Look at the Big Picture
Our team reviews areas such as:
- Current reimbursement
• Potential RHC reimbursement
• Medicare and Medicaid
• Payer mix
• Visit volume
• Provider mix
• Staffing
• Current operations
• Potential financial opportunities
We take the information and help you understand what it means for your organization.
Know Before You Decide
Our goal isn’t to convince you to become an RHC.
Our goal is to give you the information you need to decide whether becoming an RHC makes sense.
If it does, we can help with the next step.
RHC Implementation
Ready to Become a Rural Health Clinic?
You’ve decided RHC status is right for your organization. Now it’s time to make it happen.
There are a lot of pieces that need to come together when becoming a Rural Health Clinic. Our team works alongside yours throughout the process to help you understand the requirements, stay organized, and prepare your clinic for certification.
We’ve been through this process many times. We’ll Help You From Start to Finish
Every organization is different, so we start by looking at where you are and what still needs to be done.
From there, we help guide the process and keep things moving.

Getting Your Team Ready
Becoming an RHC isn’t just about completing an application.
Your staff needs to understand how RHC requirements affect everyday operations.
We help your team understand what’s changing, what they need to know, and what needs to be in place before your clinic begins operating as an RHC.
Preparing for Your Survey
You shouldn’t have to wonder if you’re ready.
We’ll help review your clinic, policies, processes, and documentation before your certification survey so your team knows what to expect and can feel prepared.
And We Don’t Disappear After Certification
Once you’re certified, we’re still here.
Our RHC Support & Compliance services can help your team stay compliant, prepare for future surveys, complete required evaluations, and answer the questions that come up along the way.

The goal isn’t just to pass a survey. It’s to stay prepared.
Biennial Evaluations
RHCs are required to periodically evaluate their program and services.
Our team can help you complete your Biennial Evaluation, review the required areas, and make the process easier for your staff.
Have a Question? Call Us.
Sometimes you don’t need a big consulting project.
You just need someone who knows RHCs.
