Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alikes
Coordinated Care With Financial Benefits
Public hospitals and health systems are passionate about caring for people regardless of their ability to pay. But it can be challenging for an organization to stay financially healthy while providing that expansive level of care. That’s where a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike designation might help.
An FQHC Look-Alike designation helps a public hospital or health system optimize Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, reduce unnecessary emergency room utilization, and improve the health status of the uninsured and Medicaid population. It can also help organizations find solutions for their behavioral health needs. Other benefits include eligibility to purchase medication for outpatients through the 340B Federal Drug Pricing Program and access to other federal programs and grants.
