In Part I of this series, participants will explore what it means to be a “FQHC Look-Alike.” Key topics include (i) basic eligibility requirements, in particular establishing your corporate structure and defining the “medically underserved area / population” to be served by your Look-Alike program; (ii) an overview of the current Look-Alike application and review process; and (iii) an introduction to the “Health Center Program Compliance Manual,” which is the basis for your program-related requirements.
Series Description
Many types of clinics have realized the benefits of securing designation as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Look-Alike. Applying for such designation, however, can be a daunting process. In addition to drafting the application, preparation requires extensive research, planning, and familiarity with the many underlying Health Center Program requirements. It is also important to consider that your application sets forth numerous legal representations regarding how your organization will structure and operationalize its FQHC Look-Alike program, in accordance with the Health Center Program requirements, so assuring the application is accurate and thorough is of paramount importance.
As attorneys who have worked with FQHC grantees and Look-Alikes for decades, we are intimately familiar with the Health Center Program requirements. We have also seen first-hand how an application can present significant legal headaches if not drafted and/or implemented properly. During this two-part webinar series, we will provide an overview of what it means to be a “FQHC Look-Alike,” and discuss some common pitfalls in designing your Look-Alike program as well as tips for avoiding those pitfalls. Whether you are an existing clinic looking to transition into the FQHC world, or an organization exploring a new FQHC Look-Alike start-up, this series will provide the foundation necessary to proceed with your application.
