Form 5A in Focus: Defining Scope and Drafting Compliant Columns II & III Agreements

Form 5A: Services Provided is the linchpin of a health center’s scope of project, setting forth those services that are “in scope” and the “delivery method” (direct, contract, and/or referral). This session will clarify Form 5A’s purpose and structure. We’ll then break down the delivery methods (Columns I–III), with a deep dive on what must be included in contracts (Column II) and formal referral agreements (Column III). The webinar wraps with a “Top 10 Pitfalls and Practical Tips” rundown—answering common Form 5A questions, discussing frequent errors, and providing tips to achieve (and sustain) compliance.
