FQHC Consulting & Development

Stay Audit-Ready, Protected, and Fully Compliant — Always.

MedCore Strategies provides hands-on compliance consulting for clinics at every stage — from HRSA policy alignment to board governance, FTCA, and Operational Site Visit (OSV) preparation.

Why This Matters

Why Compliance Is Non-Negotiable

Once you're designated — staying compliant is just as important as getting there.

Failure means risks to funding, reputation, and patient care. We make sure you're protected.

  • 01 HRSA audits and site visits
  • 02 FTCA renewal requirements
  • 03 Sliding fee scale enforcement
  • 04 Governance and bylaws scrutiny
  • 05 Ever-evolving policies and documentation demands

Common Questions

FAQ

What's the difference between a mock OSV and real OSV prep?+

A mock OSV simulates the real audit experience, helping you identify and close gaps before HRSA's official site visit. We also provide coaching, documentation reviews, and timeline management before the real visit.

Can you train our board and internal team?+

Yes — we offer live and recorded training on governance, compliance standards, and audit preparation for boards, executive staff, and clinic managers.

Is this a one-time service or ongoing?+

Both. Many clinics start with a single compliance audit, then opt into quarterly or monthly oversight packages to stay on track long-term.
