According to the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are, “community-based health care providers that receive funds from the HRSA Health Center Program to provide primary care services in underserved areas. FQHCs must meet a stringent set of requirements, including providing care on a sliding fee scale based on ability to pay and operating under a governing board that includes patients.” As an FQHC organization that needs to comply with HRSA rules, our Billing company can help you to get the maximum reimbursement of all you patients claims so you only need to take the best care of your patients and we will get your reimbursement fast following States and Federal rules.
FQHC billing and reimbursement continue to be a challenge, especially as reimbursement models for these vital entities have changed in recent years. This makes finding the right company to do your FQHC billing services all the more important. In the FQHC world, services are rarely fully compensated—and efforts to strengthen revenue can instead just end up driving increased costs.
FQHC billing is unique because Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are unique. These entities operate under a different model and mission, providing high-quality care to the nation’s economically disadvantaged and uninsured populations. Stepping up to serve those in need—opening their doors to those with nowhere else to turn.
