Add-on Rates for Providers Predominantly Delivering Family Planning Services

In alignment with this statute, only providers engaged primarily in the delivery of sexual and reproductive health care services, as described in 42 United States Code, Section 1396d(a)(4)(C) are eligible to bill for these add-on rates.
