¿Qué es un FQHC?

para ayudar a todos los estadounidenses a obtener servicios de atención primaria de salud de calidad
para ayudar a los pacientes a programar citas y realizar visitas regulares a su médico de atención primaria
para brindar atención médica a todos los pacientes, incluso si no tienen seguro

Los FQHC operan bajo el liderazgo de una Junta Directiva impulsada por los consumidores y siguen la supervisión de la Administración de Recursos y Servicios de Salud (HRSA), que es parte del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de los Estados Unidos (HHS). Originalmente, los FQHC estaban destinados a brindar servicios de salud a los médicamente desatendidos para reducir la carga de pacientes en las salas de emergencia de los hospitales.
Los FQHC brindan sus servicios a todas las personas, independientemente de su capacidad para pagar y cobrar por los servicios utilizando una escala de tarifas móviles, que se basa en los ingresos y el tamaño de la familia de los pacientes. (Los FQHC deben cumplir con los requisitos del programa de la Sección 330).
A cambio de atender a todos los pacientes, independientemente de su capacidad de pago, los centros reciben subvenciones del gobierno federal, reembolsos basados en los costos para sus pacientes de Medicaid y la oportunidad de recibir cobertura por negligencia en virtud de la Ley Federal de Reclamaciones por Agravio (FTCA).
