Are Federally Qualified Health Centers held to the Federal Sunshine law?

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are not directly subject to the Federal Sunshine Act, which primarily applies to certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, and biologics regarding their financial relationships with healthcare providers. However, FQHCs may be influenced by state laws or other regulations that promote transparency in financial relationships. FQHCs are required to comply with various federal and state regulations, but the specific requirements of the Sunshine Act do not apply to them.
