Reliable connectivity is no longer just an IT priority. It's a healthcare priority.

A recent Healthcare IT News article highlights a persistent challenge: nearly 12 million Americans live in areas with inadequate broadband access, limiting opportunities for telehealth and connected care.

For healthcare organizations, particularly those serving rural communities, a strong network foundation is essential to expanding access, supporting modern care delivery, and connecting patients with the services they need.

At FG, we believe healthcare organizations should have access to the connectivity they need without unnecessary financial strain. Through strategic network planning, carrier optimization, and federal funding expertise, we help providers build stronger, more cost-effective networks.

Because better connectivity helps make better healthcare possible.

But even infrastructure availability doesn't mean households can afford or use virtual care, a JAMA study shows. Digital skills, suitable devices and the availability of telehealth services can impede adoption even where connectivity exists.

What if your healthcare network wasn’t just an expense?

What if it could become a source of savings, funding, efficiency and better performance?

FG helps healthcare organizations look at the entire network lifecycle — from capturing available federal funding and controlling carrier costs to designing stronger infrastructure and keeping it performing.

Fund Better. Buy Better. Connect Better. Manage Better.

Because a better network shouldn’t just work better.

It should work harder for your organization.

Publicly available FCC/USAC Healthcare Connect Fund data shows a clear difference in funding outcomes: FG-managed requests received approximately $80 in committed support for every $100 requested, compared with $65 for all other filers and self-filers.

And the difference goes beyond dollars:
• 87 of 100 FG-managed funding items received funding, compared with 83 of 100
• 70 of 100 were fully funded, compared with 58 of 100
• Fewer than 1 of 100 were withdrawn, compared with 3 of 100

For healthcare organizations, federal funding shouldn’t simply be a once-a-year administrative exercise. The right strategy, process, and expertise can help uncover more opportunity and improve funding outcomes.

That’s where FG comes in. Let us help you find AND receive more funding.

What if your telecom expense management strategy could do more than control costs?

It’s a smarter way to manage telecom and make every network dollar work harder.

Healthcare organizations operate some of the most complex telecommunications environments in any industry. Between internet, connectivity, wide-area networks,

Your healthcare network does more than connect devices.

Federal funding for healthcare connectivity can deliver meaningful savings — but only when it is managed as an ongoing strategy, not a once-a-year filing exercise.

The Healthcare Connect Fund (HCF) is a federal funding program designed to help eligible healthcare organizations reduce the cost of broadband and network services. But simply participating in the program does not automatically mean an organization is maximizing the funding available to it.

When federal funding is treated as a once-a-year task, organizations can miss opportunities to:

• Identify additional eligible sites and services
• Capture funding as network needs change
• Improve data accuracy and audit readiness
• Review network costs and uncover unnecessary spend
• Build a stronger funding strategy for future growth

The greatest value comes from managing HCF throughout the year — continuously reviewing the network, the data and the funding opportunity.

At FG, we help healthcare organizations turn federal funding from an annual administrative requirement into a year-round financial and network strategy.

Federal funding should support your network strategy — not simply check a box.

The Healthcare Connect Fund (HCF) can be a powerful resource for healthcare organizations—but only if you understand what it supports and how to use it strategically.

Through HCF, eligible healthcare providers can receive 65% support on qualifying broadband and network expenses, helping make critical connectivity and infrastructure more affordable.

That support can help strengthen the technology behind:

- Reliable broadband and connectivity
- Network infrastructure and equipment
- Telehealth and virtual care
- Secure access to the systems clinicians depend on every day

For eligible rural healthcare providers and qualifying consortia, HCF is more than a reimbursement program—it can be an important part of a broader network and financial strategy.

At FG, we help healthcare organizations understand what may qualify, capture available support, and align funding with long-term network goals.

The Healthcare Connect Fund isn’t a once-a-year filing exercise — and treating it like one can quietly cost your organization time, funding and confidence.

When HCF activity is pushed to a single point in the year, teams are often left scrambling to reconcile invoices, validate eligible locations, track service changes, gather documentation and identify discrepancies long after they occurred.

The result? More administrative burden, greater audit risk and a higher chance that eligible funding opportunities are overlooked.

A stronger HCF strategy happens throughout the year.

At FG, we believe ongoing program management should include:

• Regular invoice and service validation
• Continuous documentation and data management
• Proactive identification of network and location changes
• Routine funding optimization reviews
• Audit-ready records — before an audit ever happens

HCF should support your broader network and financial strategy, not become an annual fire drill.

When funding, data and network planning stay connected all year long, organizations are better positioned to capture the support they qualify for and make smarter decisions about what comes next.

That’s what it means to Network Better.

HCF Funding Myth: If you’re eligible, you’ll get the funding.

Eligibility is only the starting point.

Healthcare organizations can qualify for Healthcare Connect Fund support and still leave funding opportunities on the table because of gaps in planning, documentation, contract alignment, site registration, or filing strategy.

Maximizing HCF support requires more than confirming eligibility. It requires understanding:

• Which sites and services qualify
• How contracts and network expenses align with program requirements
• Whether all eligible spend is being captured
• What documentation is needed to support the request
• How today’s network decisions may impact future funding
• Whether the organization is prepared for review or audit

That’s why FG approaches HCF as part of a broader network strategy—not simply an annual filing exercise.

Eligibility opens the door. Strategy determines how much value you capture once you’re inside.
