Healthcare organizations need more than someone who can file HCF paperwork.

They need a partner who understands how funding, contracts, network design, carrier strategy, operations, and long-term planning all work together.

That’s where FG is different.

Our healthcare network expertise extends far beyond the Healthcare Connect Fund. We help organizations look at the entire network lifecycle—from identifying available funding and uncovering unnecessary spend to planning modernization initiatives, optimizing carrier agreements, deploying infrastructure, and supporting ongoing network performance.

Because HCF should not be managed in isolation.

When funding decisions are aligned with network strategy, procurement, Finance, and IT, healthcare organizations can make smarter investments, reduce avoidable costs, strengthen their infrastructure, and create a network designed to support where the organization is going next.

HCF may be one part of the conversation.

Building a better healthcare network is the bigger picture.

That’s the Network Better approach.

Network planning and Healthcare Connect Fund filing shouldn’t happen in separate conversations.

When funding strategy comes after the network is already designed, healthcare organizations can miss opportunities to maximize eligible spend, structure contracts effectively, and plan investments with reimbursement in mind.

In this case, the approach is to bring network strategy, procurement, and HCF funding together.

That alignment can help organizations:

• Identify eligible network costs earlier
• Make smarter technology and carrier decisions
• Build funding considerations into contracts and budgeting
• Reduce the risk of missed reimbursement opportunities
• Maintain stronger documentation and audit readiness
• Create a network roadmap that supports both operational and financial goals

HCF is most valuable when it’s treated as part of the network strategy—not as a filing exercise after the fact.

At FG, that’s why federal funding is connected to the entire network strategy.

Healthcare Connect Fund success isn’t just about eligibility. It’s about having the right process, data, documentation, and strategy in place from the beginning.

Healthcare organizations can leave valuable HCF support on the table when funding is treated as a once-a-year filing exercise instead of part of the broader network strategy.

At FG, we help healthcare systems take a more proactive approach by aligning:

• Eligible sites and services
• Carrier, contract, invoice, and service-location data
• Competitive bidding and documentation
• Network modernization initiatives
• Audit and program review readiness
• Long-term funding strategy

The goal is simple: pursue more eligible funding while staying aligned with program requirements.

See how a disciplined approach to HCF can help strengthen funding accuracy, reduce compliance risk, and support smarter network decisions.
