- Abstract:
- Community health centers and Federally Qualified Health Centers in California are an integral part of the delivery system and provide access to care for millions in vulnerable populations. This system is often referred to as the “safety net.” Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are paid for the care they provide to Medi-Cal enrollees through a complicated structure governed by state and federal law. This issue brief examines existing community health centers (CHCs) and FQHC payment methods in Medi-Cal. It also examines the role of Alternative Payment Models (APMs)--financial incentives for the provision of high-quality and/or cost-efficient care--as one strategy health centers could use to increase access, improve care, and help modernize the payment system for FQHCs.
