The FQHC Advantage: Maximizing 340B Revenue with Limited Resources

Community clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) rely heavily on the 340B program to fund essential services for vulnerable populations. In 2025, with rising drug costs and limited budgets, maximizing 340B savings has never been more critical. But for many FQHCs, resource constraints make compliance and claim capture especially challenging.

The Importance of 340B for FQHCs
According to the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), more than 30 million Americans depend on FQHCs for affordable healthcare. 340B savings often fund:

• Access to essential medications for uninsured patients.

• Expanded primary and behavioral health services.

• Community outreach and preventive care programs.

The American Hospital Association (AHA) emphasizes that without 340B, many safety-net providers would struggle to maintain these critical services.

Challenges for FQHCs in 2025
Despite their importance, FQHCs face unique challenges in 340B compliance:

• Limited Staff Resources: Small teams often juggle multiple roles, leaving little bandwidth for detailed claim reviews.

• Complex Contract Pharmacy Networks: Managing multiple relationships increases the risk of missed claims.

• HRSA Audit Readiness: According to HRSA, audits continue to rise, with FQHCs increasingly under scrutiny.
