A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) is a reimbursement designation from the Bureau of Primary Health Care and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. This designation is significant for several health programs funded under the Health Center Consolidation Act (Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act). ==Funded programs== Health programs funded include: *Community Health Centers which serve a variety of federally designated Medically Underserved Area/Populations (MUA or MUP). *Migrant Health Centers which provide culturally competent and primary preventive medical care to migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, *Health Care for the Homeless Programs which reach out to homeless individuals and families and provide primary and preventive care and substance abuse services, and *Public Housing Primary Care Programs that serve residents of public housing and are located in or adjacent to the communities they serve.〔(Health Center Program: What is a Health Center )〕 FQHCs are community-based organizations that provide comprehensive primary care and preventive care, including health, oral, and mental health/substance abuse services to persons of all ages, regardless of their ability to pay or health insurance status. Thus, they are a critical component of the health care safety net. FQHCs are called Community/Migrant Health Centers (C/MHC), Community Health Centers (CHC), and 330 Funded Clinics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federally Qualified Health Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
