Navigating HRSA Grants and G0469 Billing for FQHC Psychiatry Practices
HRSA grants provide essential funding for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) to expand and strengthen psychiatric services. These grants can support the hiring of additional providers, staff training, and the development of programs that improve access to behavioral health care. Understanding how to effectively use these funds allows FQHCs to enhance patient care, reduce service gaps, and implement sustainable mental health initiatives that meet community needs.
Equally important is the proper use of G0469, the billing code for new psychiatric patient visits at FQHCs. Accurate documentation of patient assessments, treatment planning, and care coordination is critical to ensure compliance with federal and payer-specific guidelines. By combining knowledgeable grant management with correct billing practices, FQHCs can maintain financial sustainability while delivering comprehensive psychiatric care to those who need it most.
