Central Florida Family Health Center, Inc. dba True Health is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving the residents of Orange and Seminole County since 1977. In 2014, True Health became the safety net provider for all patients displaced by the Department of Health’s mandate to eliminate primary care services.
True Health received notification that FQHCs within the State of Florida has a continued opportunity to participate in the Low-Income Pool (LIP) distribution.LIP is a federal matching program through Medicaid and requires each recipient to secure local match, known as Intergovernmental Transfers (IGT). These funds must come from an agency that produces an “ad valorum” tax base, which can be used as a match to draw down federal dollars, based on the state’s Federal Medical assistance Percentages (FMAP) rate.
In order for True Health to secure $1.1M in Low Income Pool (LIP) funding, a total of $ 512,689 in matching dollars must be secured to offset the cost of uncompensated care is required.
True Health is requesting $221,608 to secure LIP Funding. The attached Letter of Commitment provides the required matching funds to the State of Florida on behalf of True Health for the LIP program.
