THE JOB WE DO
• Support sustainable community health clinics.
Problem
Community Health Clinics (CHC) need a portfolio of Medicaid referrals in order to offset the losses associated with serving a mission of caring for the uninsured. Capturing Medicaid referrals requires investments in business development capabilities most CHCs cannot afford.
Solution
MHD enables CHCs to post calendars of available care, including a portfolio of Medicaid or sliding fee schedule slots to offset losses resulting from providing care to the uninsured. Hospital EDs looking to connect non-emergent ED patients with community options can make referrals of Medicaid and sliding fee schedule patients to these sites in a manner consistent with EMTALA and community standards for providing care.
Example
A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) generates a positive margin on Medicaid patients and is willing to build capacity if it can build its Medicaid portfolio to offset losses resulting from caring for the uninsured. A nearby hospital would like to redirect its non-emergent Medicaid patients to a community site. Using MHD, the FQHC posts a calendar of both sliding fee and Medicaid slots that the hospital fills, thus helping support an expansion of community based care options.
