Background
FH Community Health was established in 2004 when founder Hal Stern recognized the need for a new kind of patient accounting management firm—one designed to meet the specific needs of community healthcare providers.
Mr. Stern created a new business to develop precise strategies for tackling the tough financial challenges faced by community health centers. Leveraging his more than 25 years of experience, insight and success in accounts receivable management, Mr. Stern's firm attacked the biggest challenge facing community health centers: Increasing recoveries for high-volume facilities where all of the accounts have balances below $150.
The resulting business, FH Community Health, became the FQHC patient accounting expert, helping community health centers dig into their financial reports and billing records to find opportunities to accelerate and increase recoveries-and boost their net revenue an average of 100 percent.
