# CMS FQHC PPS Base Payment Rate

`medicare_silver.fact_fqhc_pps_rate` · Medicare Advantage, Part D, Medicaid · status live · 2 rows

CMS Federally Qualified Health Center PPS national per-visit base payment rate, extracted from the annual CMS Pricer-update transmittal and anchor-VALIDATED (CY2026 = $207.72). The FQHC repricing base for the FQHCs we roster — adjusted per FQHC by the Geographic Adjustment Factor (derived from the PFS GPCIs we already hold in medicare_gpci_locality) + the new-patient/IPPE/AWV adjustment. CY2025 ($202.65) + CY2026 ($207.72) live. Fifth non-acute repricer; completes the cleanly-sourceable non-acute rate set.

**Grain.** One row per calendar_year — the national FQHC PPS per-visit base payment rate.
