Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that, to maintain the health care safety net, Federally Qualified Health Centers should continue to operate under their longstanding single patient definition for delivery of all services, including prescription drugs.

This resolution states the view of the House of Representatives on how Federally Qualified Health Centers define who counts as a patient. It says these health centers should keep using the single patient definition applied by the Health Resources and Services Administration, under which a person with at least one countable visit in a year in any listed service category counts as a patient. It says this one definition should apply to all services, including drugs bought through the 340B Drug Pricing Program. The resolution is a statement of opinion and does not change any law.
