Non-Urbanized Area Requirement for RHCs

20.1 - Non-Urbanized Area Requirement for RHCs (Rev. 220, Issued: 01-15-16, Effective: 02-01-16, Implementation: 02-01-16) The U.S. Census Bureau determines if an area is an urbanized area (UA). Any area that is not in a UA is considered a non-urbanized area. A clinic located in an area that is not a UA would meet the RHC requirement for being in a non-urbanized area. Information on whether an area is in an urbanized area can be found at http://factfinder.census.gov; or http://www.raconline.org; or by contacting the appropriate CMS RO at http://www.cms.gov/RegionalOffices/.
