13 What is a Community Health Center? Independent Non-profits Incorporates local community resources with federal funds to establish neighborhood clinics in both rural and urban areas around the country. Located in Health Professions Shortage Areas (HPSA) Designated as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) Unique community-based Board of Directors w/ 51% membership are CHC users of service Receives partial funding from feds (330 Grant) and other qualifying grants Creates opportunities to see all patients despite financial ability to pay

16 Benefits of ACA to FQHC s Expand Centers to care for 40 millions Americans (currently about 18 million) $11 Billion over 5 years $9.5 B for new centers and expanded capacities $1.5 B for Capital Improvement and new Facilities 340-b purchase of medications at near cost Malpractice coverage through FTCA (Fed. Tort) Cost-based reimbursement for Medicaid patients only FQHC Medicare rates

17 State Children Health Insurance Program Poverty rate for children under 18 greater than any other age group Likely due to increase in single-parent families Provides Medicaid-like coverage for working poor families Participation in Vaccines For Children program

18 Benefits of ACA to FQHC s Cost Savings to Health Care System by: Reducing ER visits Hospitalizations Avoidable costly care Up to $122 B saved thru CHC s would save as much as $55 B for Medicaid over 5 yrs.
