Affordable health care is available if you seek any health care that is a Federally Qualified Health Care Center (FQHC). The United States government does not provide health care, which provides care to low-income citizens. Most FQHC clinics are located in small rural areas.
If you don’t have insurance, money, or even if you do have insurance, you can still get quality, affordable care from one of these centers. There is no charge to patients on what is called the “Fee Scale”, which is determined by the government and is based on the poverty level as shown in United States.
One thing that is not unknown about FQHCs is that most of them also have a pharmacy where you can get deep discounts on prescription drugs. This includes if you also have insurance. I have worked at Community Health System in Beckley, West Virginia for about five (5) years and have seen the impact and growth of doctors seeing people here and receiving huge discounts on prescription drugs.
Most FQHC pharmacies operate with a 340b contract where the pharmacy can provide prescription drugs at just below commercial pharmaceutical costs from pharmaceutical companies. The savings are passed on to people who cannot afford medical care and people who also have insurance.
One negative thing about FQHC clinics is that they only serve low-income people. But this stereotype is so wrong that they have the best doctors in the most specialized and clinical fields.
Most doctors in FQHC clinics practice internal medicine, family practice, and ob/gyn. One attraction for teachers to work for an FQHC is that Federal government student loans will provide grants and none that generally match The United States Government was ordered to leave.
Doctors who work for FQHC clinics are paid an attractive salary along with benefits. Any doctors looking for an opportunity to start in an FQHC clinic contact Devonna Smith, Human Resource Director, at Community Health Systems, Inc. located in Beckley, West Virginia with eight (8) locations. His phone number is 304-252-8324.
FQHCs provide expedited service to so many Americans, but many don’t know about the services they offer or how much they could save at the clinic. by visiting an FQHC. President Bush has pushed for more money for these clinics and clinics especially with money ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars< /a>.
If you have health concerns or cannot afford your medicine, please check your local phone book or search online for the center/s on your FQHC website. We ask that they provide pharmacy services as well.
