SECTION 354.1323. Reviews/Appeals

If a federally qualified health center (FQHC) is dissatisfied with a tentative or final settlement, the FQHC may submit a request for review to the Texas Department of Health (department) or its designee within 60 days of notification of the tentative or final settlement. Unless otherwise specified by the department or its designee, the department or its designee follows the procedures in 42 Code of Federal Regulations §§405.1801-405.1890. The department or its designee will conduct the review as soon as possible and notify the FQHC of the results. If the FQHC is dissatisfied with the results of the review, the FQHC may request a formal hearing under the procedures contained in Chapter 1 of this title (relating to Texas Board of Health), except that, in the event of conflict, the procedures in this section apply.
