A provider is looking to open an FQHC location in a different town from where the currently FQHC office is located.
(1) Wouldn’t the new location need to be credentialed and approved before seeing patients at this location?
(2) Or would it be ok to bill under the FQHC tax id for the main office until the new location has been established and approved?

If you are able to answer these questions, can you please provide where I can find these answers on CMS so that I can back up my response to the provider.

Thank you in advance.
