2023 NARHC Policy Survey
Medicare Advantage and Telehealth Data Needed

NARHC is seeking important metrics from the RHC community to guide our advocacy work entering 2023, specifically on Medicare Advantage and telehealth impacts on the rural communities RHCs serve.

We ask that one representative from your organization complete this brief survey with calendar year 2022 data. Your participation in this survey is essential to many of our policy objectives!

Please complete the survey by Friday, January 20th at 5:00 PM ET.

With any questions, email Sarah Hohman at Sarah.Hohman@narhc.org.

Sincerely,
National Association of Rural Health Clinics
