Strategy: Revenue Diversification — 340B, Grant Stacking, and MCO Contract Negotiation
With PPS revenue under threat, FQHC leaders should diversify aggressively. Key levers: (1) Maximize 340B drug pricing savings — contract pharmacy arrangements can generate $500K-$2M annually.
(2) Stack grants — HRSA Quality Improvement, SAMHSA CCBHC, state HCAI workforce grants. (3) Renegotiate MCO contracts — use CalAIM Community Supports as new revenue streams.
(4) Bill CHW encounters under new Medi-Cal codes. (5) Implement co-visit billing systematically.
Key takeaways
- Contract pharmacy arrangements can generate $500K-$2M annually in 340B savings
- Stack grants: HRSA Quality Improvement, SAMHSA CCBHC, state HCAI workforce grants
- Use CalAIM Community Supports as new revenue streams when renegotiating MCO contracts
- Bill CHW encounters under new Medi-Cal codes and implement co-visit billing systematically
