Sec. 405.2464  All-inclusive rate.

    (a) Determination of rate. (1) An all-inclusive rate is determined 
by the intermediary at the beginning of the reporting period.
    (2) The rate is determined by dividing the estimated total allowable 
costs by estimated total visits for rural health clinic or Federally 
qualified health center services.
    (3) The rate determination is subject to any tests of reasonableness 
that may be established in accordance with this subpart.
    (b) Adjustment of rate. (1) The intermediary, during each reporting 
period, periodically reviews the rate to assure that payments 
approximate actual allowable costs and visits for rural health clinic or 
Federally qualified health center services and adjusts the rate if:
    (i) There is a significant change in the utilization of clinic or 
center services;
    (ii) Actual allowable costs vary materially from the clinic or 
center's allowable costs; or
    (iii) Other circumstances arise which warrant an adjustment.
    (2) The clinic or center may request the intermediary to review the 
rate to determine whether adjustment is required.
