Capital Needs Survey • In 2007, six health centers indicated a need for $15.3MM in capital projects • Estimated 2% funding from equity and fundraising…98% from grants and loans • Leading technical assistance needs were: • Economic Impact Analysis • Financing Assistance • Grant Identification/Writer • Business Plan Development
Capital Needs Survey • In 2010, twelve health centers indicated a need for $39.1MM in 21 capital projects • Estimated 48% of funding was identified • To serve an additional 48,000 patients • As part of a national effort to serve 30 million patients by 2015, Arkansas centers are working to expand access to an additional 120,000 residents • Leading technical assistance needs were: • Strategic Planning, Financing Assistance, Financial Analysis, Business Plan Development
Economic Impact Analysis • In 2006, six centers reported $42.5MM in payroll for 449 jobs • Resulting in a total economic impact of $73.0MM and 831 jobs • In 2008, twelve centers reported $70.6MM in payroll for 760 jobs • Resulting in a total economic impact of $116.8MM and 1,213 jobs
Combination of “equity” and debt • Maximum loan amount is dependent on a center’s “debt capacity” • Difference between project costs and debt capacity = needed “equity” • “Equity” for a health center generally means: • Cash generated from operations • Grants and donations from public and private sources How do health centers pay for capital projects?
Capital Funding Challenges • Some grant funding, but never enough • The difficult lending environment is here for the foreseeable future; interest rates will likely head higher • NMTC will continue to be in short-supply and leverage loans will remain challenging • Latest round of NMTC allocation produced 250 applications requesting $23.5B. $5B is available. • And meanwhile the pressure on PCAs and FQHCs to open new sites, expand, etc. will be very high
Stimulus and Health Care Reform Yes, A Very Big Deal Health Reform and Health Centers
Funding Levels $11 Billion over 5 years (dedicated funding), over and above the $2.2 billion in annual CHC funding $9.5 billion for CHC operations under Sect. 330 $1.5 billion for capital projects over 5 years New Funding for Health Centers
Health Reform – Funding Growth Chart * Does not include $1.5B for capital projects
Health Centers- Construction and Renovation $1.5 billion over 5 years No specific instructions, but only for construction and renovation (not HIT, not acquisition) HRSA has authority to decide how to spend Prevailing Wage Not Required Rumor: Partial FIP fund down 1st, grant program later Timing: Late June Announcement/October Award FQHC Capital Funding
Access to funding for growth and expansion Unclear how new funding will be distributed Managing growth will continue to be a challenge Need for state-wide planning is paramount Recruiting staff – especially clinical staff – will be a challenge NHSC will need to be marketed aggressively ALL health centers need to increase involvement in training of ALL levels of needed clinical professionals Facility space and equipment will continue to be a major challenge Physical capacity building critical Adequate and attractive space needed
Health Reform: What Might It Mean? MORE Patients with Insurance Coverage FEWER employer-insured patients and many MORE Exchange-enrolled patients FEWER uninsured patients, but they will account for a HIGHER PERCENTAGE of all uninsured Medicare patient population will grow dramatically over the next decade
Health Reform: What Will It Mean to Payor Mix? Current (2009) Patients by Payer Source Post-Reform (2015)Patients By Payer Source Exchange 7% Private 16% Private 12% Medicaid 34% Medicaid 42% Uninsured 26% Uninsured 39% CHIP 2% Medicare 8% Other Public 1% CHIP 4% Other Public 1% Medicare 8% NOTE: Medicare patients will grow significantly over the next 10 years
So What Didn’t Happen? • Cost containment still a challenge • Existing Annual 330 Appropriations Not Guaranteed • Although bill is paid for, cuts happen later • “Capital Tools” not included • Loan Guarantee Program funding is running out • Estimated $10.5B in capital funding needed to reach 30 million patients (only $3B provided)
Soooo…how do we • Get projects moving ASAP? • Collaborate with other PCAs and FQHCs in planning for growth? • Accurately forecast patient growth and payor mix? • Support pursuit of newly insured patients? • Prepare for expected growth in an unexpected environment? Key Questions
Who will succeed? Successful PCAs and FQHCs will be those who are willing to take calculated risks in an uncertain environment and who have a well-founded plan to manage the downside risk (PROACTIVE) The need for rapid growth will likely benefit those PCAs and FQHCs that have already achieved a certain level of scale and/or experience. Passive organizations will not succeed
