Federally Qualified Health Care Centers (FQHC)
University Community Health Services is one of a family of more than 1,200 national health centers that provide care to more than 15 million people across the United States. Known as FQHCs, these community health centers are local, non-profit providers serving low income and medically underserved communities. They provide primary medical, dental, mental health, pharmacy, and other services based on a community's needs. Medicaid (TennCare), Medicare and most private insurance are accepted. Discounts are available for those without health insurance who meet income guidelines. Patients can also obtain low cost prescriptions and most lab tests provided on site are discounted or free.
Employer Based Clinics
University Community Health Services currently operates 10 employer based health clinics. Private and public employers contract with UCHS to provide primary health care services at designated worksites. Offering accessible and affordable primary care to employees, dependents and retireees, has shown to reduce an employer's overall healthcare costs and on-the-job time loss due to illness and injury. For over 8 years, UCHS has successfully operated employer health clinics that have demonstrated a significant return on investment for our business partners.
