THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND HEALTH CENTERS
The Need for Health Centers Post- ACA Today, approximately 1,200 Health Centers operate nearly 9,000 service delivery sites across the country ◦ More than 22 million people access comprehensive health care services at Health Centers, regardless of income level or insurance status Projected 30 million individuals will gain insurance through the Marketplace and Medicaid under ACA
Health Centers and the ACA Having an insurance card does NOT ensure access to care Despite passage of the ACA and Medicaid expansion, many individuals will remain uninsured ◦ Health Centers will continue to play an important role as safety net providers for those remaining uninsured
CHC Expansion $11 billion for new Health Center Program Expansion FY2011-2015 ◦ $9.5 billion to expand operational capacity ◦ $1.5 billion in funding to begin to meet capital needs Michigan received 9 New Access Point Awards (NAP) in 2013 that will serve 42,000 new patients ◦ Funding opportunities for service expansion available now
Coverage Expansion Medicaid Expansion through the Healthy Michigan Plan: Potential 500K new Medicaid patients of which over 100K are Health Center patients Insurance Marketplace: Requires that health centers receive fair reimbursement from insurers offering plans through the new health insurance exchanges
Health Centers and the ACA Health Centers are economic engines in the communities they operate ◦ Source of stable employment and job training for residents ◦ Engage in capital development projects that often act as catalysts for economic revitalization Proven track record of educating community members about overall health, health care services, and insurance
