About Us

The Family Health Centers of Georgia, Inc. is one of more than 1,500 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) operating in the United States. FQHCs use a healthcare delivery system that has proven success with improving healthcare outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Several recent studies have found that patients who regularly use community health centers, like FHCGA, have lower total annual healthcare costs when compared to patients who use other primary care providers, such as HMOs, hospital outpatient units or private physicians. On an average, these studies show that the cost associated with using a community health center is 22% to 33% less expensive than using other healthcare models.

For Medicaid and Medicare patients, the managed care environment that community health centers create increases accessibility to primary care physicians and disease management programs. With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many uninsured Americans are expected to have access to health insurance coverage. However, many US residents will not qualify to participate in the ACA Health Insurance Marketplace or many may find the cost of the health plans offered in the Marketplace unaffordable. FHCGA offers a Sliding Fee Scale Program in which the fees for services are based upon meeting federally established income guidelines. The Sliding Fee Scale Program provides an alternative payment option for uninsured and under-insured patients to receive quality medical services.
