Community Health Centers (CHCs) deliver care that makes Medicaid dollars go further. According to the Congressional Budget Office, CHCs reduce federal spending for both Medicaid and Medicare populations by lowering costs in emergency departments, inpatient hospitals, and other outpatient services—proving that care at health centers is both effective and efficient.
ACH urges a targeted approach to changes in Medicaid policy, as broad changes have the potential to destabilize state Medicaid programs and community health centers, harm local economies, and exacerbate rural health care access challenges.
