Metro Community Health Centers & Yuvo: Their Story
The FQHC world has traditionally fought battles by themselves, Dr. Bilello explains. “We’re the black sheep of the payer community. We have patients who actually utilize services.” Rarely, if ever, does a company offer to help FQHCs and with such sincerity. “Yuvo Health is willing to work with us around the challenges that FQHCs have in the value-based conversation,” says Dr. Bilello. Payers have created hoops that FQHCs can’t jump in, so they don’t have to engage FQHCs in healthcare conversations, Dr. Bilello explains. “With Yuvo taking this challenge on and eliminating the barriers, it gives FQHCs a voice in the conversation but also allows us, to some degree, to prove what we’re capable of doing.”
