Since 2003, this organization has provided quality, affordable medical care, mental health and dental care to the underserved and uninsured communities of Spring Branch and West Houston. Spring Branch Community Health Center (SBCHC) in Texas is one of Zocdoc's FQHC pilot clients. As part of a small pilot program, Zocdoc has already signed up FQHCs in New York, Texas and Michigan. To further support this, the company is offering deeply discounted rates for any FQHCs that would like to list their facilities and real-time availability on Zocdoc. With access to affordable, quality care at risk for so many Americans, Zocdoc began a concerted effort to bring more FQHCs on to its marketplace. But with the PHE set to expire in May, millions of Medicaid beneficiaries will either need to re-enroll or find other paths to care. Since the start of the pandemic and the issuance of the Public Health Emergency (PHE), Medicaid enrollment increased by nearly 30%, bringing the total number of Americans covered by Medicaid to more than 90 million. "We are proud to bring more FQHCs on to our marketplace to further accelerate access to high quality, affordable care for patients and communities that need it most."
"Zocdoc was founded with a mission to give power to the patient, and this mission includes all patients - not just the well-to-do or commercially insured," said Oliver Kharraz, M.D., Zocdoc founder and CEO.
