FQHC Policies, Procedures & Documentation

Though we always made available to our clients a complete library of documentation necessary for FQHC/FQHC Look Alike compliance, we now have one source and can be instantly downloaded. Formerly known as the Operational Resource Handbook, this library of Policy & Procedure templates and other documentation includes templates and resources that are currently being utilized in FQHC’s throughout the country and meet and/or exceeds the current FQHC & FQHC Look Alike Requirements. All templates are in word format (excluding informational articles and references (PowerPoint or PDF) and some spreadsheet applications (Excel). and can be tailored to your organizational needs and circumstances. The complete library and accompanying files will greatly reduce your time and cost in producing your necessary documentation.

Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) Preparation

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) requires tax-exempt hospitals to create a hospital community health needs assessment every three years and FQHC’s need to have an updated Needs Assessment to meet the requirements set out by HRSA. FQHCmd has worked with hospitals, FQHC’s and other entities producing detailed Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA). If you are looking to update or have a complete, detailed Needs Assessment of your current or potential service area or county, please contact us and ask about our Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) Report.

New 330 Grantee & Look Alike Support

FQHCmd knows that development and securing a New Access Point is not only a tremendous amount of work but a dedication by all involved. In reality, the work doesn’t stop there, in fact it is only the beginning. The development of efficient business and HR systems, training for your board and staff, developing an organization wide Quality Assurance and Improvement culture, compliance reporting and Emergency Preparedness planning are some of the areas that FQHCmd can help with.
We also have years of experience with Budgeting and reporting including your annual Budget Period Progress Reports and Change in Scope reporting, developing an action oriented Peer Review Policy and interim CFO or CFO development.
Contact us to discuss your particular needs.

Becoming an FQHC or FQHC Look Alike

Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) include all organizations receiving grants under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS). FQHCs qualify for enhanced reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, as well as other benefits. FQHCs must serve an underserved area or population, offer a sliding fee scale, provide comprehensive services, have an ongoing quality assurance program, and have a governing board of directors that is made up of at least 51% users of the clinic. Certain tribal organizations and FQHC Look-Alikes (an organization that meets PHS Section 330 eligibility requirements, but does not receive grant funding) also may receive special Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.
