Ethical Challenge in Healthcare –  
Financial Assistance and Charity Care: Healt

Ethical Challenge in Healthcare –  
Financial Assistance and Charity Care: Healthcare providers have an ethical obligation to provide care to those in need. 
Federally Qualified Health Centers have the same-day service/billing constraint. This causes some patients unable access to medical and behavioral health services on the same day and may potentially delay care.

FQHC/RHC providers may be reimbursed for up to: • Two visits per day, per recipient, if one is a medical visit or mental health visit, and the other is a dental visit. This can lead to delayed mental health/medical care.

“The primary objective of the medical profession is to render service to humanity; reward or financial gain is a subordinate consideration. Under no circumstances may physicians place their own financial interests above the welfare of their patients,” says the AMA Code of Medical Ethics opinion on conflicts of interest in patient care.
