These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of medcorestrategies.com (the “Site”) and the content, tools, calculators, and downloadable resources we make available through it (together, the “Services”). The Site is operated by MedCore Strategies (“MedCore,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a B2B consultancy serving health centers and healthcare organizations. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Scope note. This Site is a marketing and lead-intake property. It describes our consulting and marketing services and lets you learn about, evaluate, and request them. It is not itself the agreement under which we deliver paid work, and it is not a clinical service, patient portal, or covered-entity touchpoint under HIPAA. Any engagement we perform for you is governed by a separate written agreement, as described below.
Eligibility and Acceptance
The Site is directed to a professional audience — clinic founders, executives, board members, compliance officers, and healthcare operators. By using the Site you represent that you are at least 18 years old and that, if you are using the Site on behalf of an organization, you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf. If we make material changes to these Terms, your continued use of the Site after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
The Services Are Informational, Not Professional Advice
The content on this Site — including articles, guides, resources, FAQs, case studies, and the outputs of any calculator, scorecard, or estimator — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not legal, regulatory, financial, accounting, tax, clinical, or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who is familiar with your specific facts and circumstances.
Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) designation, HRSA program requirements, grant eligibility, sliding fee discount programs, reimbursement rules, and healthcare marketing compliance are complex, fact-specific, and subject to change. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of anything on this Site without obtaining advice specific to your situation. Reading this Site, downloading a resource, or using a tool does not create a consulting, advisory, attorney-client, or fiduciary relationship between you and MedCore.
Tools, Calculators, and Estimators
The Site offers interactive tools such as the FQHC reimbursement calculator, the grant readiness scorecard, and the sliding fee estimator. These tools produce illustrative estimates and directional guidance based solely on the inputs you provide and on general assumptions that may not reflect your actual circumstances, current rates, or governing rules.
- Outputs are estimates only and are not guarantees of any reimbursement amount, grant award, eligibility determination, score, or program outcome.
- We do not store the entries you make in a tool as a basis for any commitment to you, and we are not responsible for decisions you make in reliance on a tool’s output.
- Always validate results against authoritative sources (HRSA, CMS, your state program, and your own professional advisors) before relying on them.
Downloadable Resources and Lead Magnets
We make certain templates, checklists, starter kits, and other resources available for download. Unless a resource states otherwise, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use it internally within your organization for your own planning and operations. You may not resell, sublicense, publicly redistribute, or present these resources as your own work product, and you may not remove any attribution or notices they contain. Resources are provided “as is” and must be adapted to your circumstances and reviewed by your own advisors before use.
Engagements Are Governed by a Separate Agreement
Requesting a strategy session, submitting an intake form, or corresponding with us does not create a binding engagement or obligate either party to proceed. Any paid consulting or marketing work is performed only under a separate written agreement (such as a statement of work, proposal, or master services agreement) signed by both parties. If anything in that signed agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls with respect to that engagement.
Acceptable Use
When using the Site, you agree that you will not:
- Use the Site for any unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive purpose
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, related systems, or another user’s data
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure
- Introduce viruses, malware, or any code of a destructive or disruptive nature
- Scrape, harvest, or systematically collect content or data except as permitted by us in writing
- Use automated means to overload, flood, or impair the Site, or interfere with its proper functioning
- Submit content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or that you do not have the right to submit
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or use the Site to send spam or unsolicited communications
Information You Submit
When you contact us, request a session, or download a resource, you are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide. Please do not submit protected health information (PHI), patient records, or third-party clinical details through any form, email, or upload on this Site. The Site is not configured to receive PHI, and submitting it through these channels is not appropriate. If an engagement requires the exchange of sensitive material, we will establish a separately governed channel, under a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) where applicable. Our handling of the information you provide is described in our Privacy Policy.
To the extent you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Site or our Services (“Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that Feedback without restriction or obligation to you.
Intellectual Property
The Site and its contents — including text, graphics, layouts, logos, design elements, methodologies, tools, and downloadable resources — are owned by MedCore or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property and other laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Site for your own internal, non-commercial evaluation and business-planning purposes. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any part of the Site without our prior written consent.
Trademarks
“MedCore Strategies” and our logos are marks of MedCore. Other names, logos, and marks appearing on the Site are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only; their appearance does not imply endorsement or affiliation unless stated.
Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may link to external resources, regulatory references, scheduling tools, or partner properties operated by third parties, including products offered under separate domains. We provide these links for convenience and do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for third-party sites or services. Your use of any third-party site or service is governed by that party’s own terms and privacy practices, which we encourage you to review.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranty that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any content, tool output, or resource is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your purpose.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, MedCore and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Site, Services, tools, or resources, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In all cases, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site and these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MedCore and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site in violation of these Terms or applicable law, or your violation of the rights of any third party.
Privacy
Your use of the Site is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect the information you share with us. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which MedCore is organized, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in that jurisdiction, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally before initiating formal proceedings.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, our practices, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site for a reasonable period after they take effect. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any separate written agreement governing a paid engagement, constitute the entire agreement between you and MedCore regarding your use of the Site.
