Description
The New Jersey Department of Health’s Federally Qualified Health Center Expansion Program reimburses participating health centers for care provided to uninsured and underinsured residents. It supports Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) funded under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act and centers federally designated as FQHC look-a-likes.
The program focuses on services delivered through those centers, rather than a separate research or planning project. Its purpose is to help sustain access to primary medical, dental, and mental health care for residents who lack insurance or have insufficient coverage.
