Is your healthcare organization capturing the full value of the Healthcare Connect Fund — and prepared if an audit happens?

HCF can reimburse eligible nonprofit healthcare providers for up to 65% of qualified telecommunications and broadband services, but maximizing funding requires more than filing forms. It requires a clear strategy, strong documentation, procurement compliance, reimbursement tracking, and audit-ready processes.

We created the Healthcare Connect Fund Audit Readiness & Funding Strategy Scorecard to help healthcare leaders quickly evaluate where they stand and identify potential gaps in funding strategy or compliance readiness.

Download the scorecard to assess your organization’s HCF funding strategy and audit preparedness.

Copper retirement is no longer a future concern for healthcare systems — it is a network inflection point.

As carriers accelerate the decommissioning of legacy copper infrastructure, healthcare organizations still relying on outdated services may face increased risk around uptime, security, compliance, carrier leverage, and continuity of care.

But with the right strategy, copper retirement does not have to become a disruption. It can become an opportunity to modernize intentionally.

FG helps healthcare leaders move from reactive upgrades to future-ready network strategies by aligning infrastructure planning, carrier management, funding strategy, audit readiness, and operational governance.

The result: resilient, scalable networks designed to support patient care today — and digital health innovation tomorrow.
