Accessing Specialty Care for Community Health Center Patients Case for Chapters 5, 9, and 10 Lea Nolan Carol Finn, the executive director of Heartland Community Health, hands Jenny, the health centers referral coordinator and care coordinator, a tissue. Jennys shedding frustrated tears because this is the third time this week that shes been unable to find a specialty care provider willing to treat one of the health centers uninsured or underinsured patients. Heartland Community Health Center (CHC) is a federally-qualified health center (FQHC) operating in a medically underserved area (MUA) in a rural section of a midwestern state. FQHCs provide comprehensive primary care services to medically underserved communities regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. The CHC receives an annual federal Section 330 grant to defray the cost of providing care to its uninsured and underinsured patients. The grant also funds enabling services that support and assist the delivery of primary care and facilitate patients access to care. Enabling services include case management, eligibility and enrollment services, transportation, interpretation, community health worker programs, and patient education. Uninsured and underinsured patients are charged a sliding fee, based on income, for the primary care services they receive. Nearly two-thirds of Heartland CHCs 2,700 patients live below the federal poverty line, and 96% have incomes below 200% of poverty (about $20,780 for a family of three). The racial demographics of Heartland CHCs patient population mirrors that of the overall state. More than 85% of patients are White, 9% are Hispanic/Latino, 4% are African-American, and those that remain identify as American Indian or other Native people. As is common among low-income, vulnerable populations, Heartland CHCs patients are more likely to experience a disproportionate share of chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, cancer, asthma, HIV, mental illness, and substance abuse. Nearly a quarter of the centers patients suffer from hypertension. Of those patients with blood pressure < 140/90, more than half (56%) are well controlled with medication, but the remaining 44% are not. More than 14% of the health centers patients have been diagnosed with diabetes and the majority of those (69%) are well controlled. However, 34% of diabetics continue to receive HbA1c results > 9% or have not had a test in more than a year. Only 37% of the health centers asthmatic patients report using appropriate medications. To meet its patients needs, the health center provides comprehensive primary and preventive care including sick and well exams, including well gynecological services, immunizations, diagnostic services, screenings, testing for sexually transmitted infections, diagnostic lab and radiology, EKGs, outreach and education, and translation. A behavioral consultant is available to meet with patients and consult .
