Services Provided For FQHCs

For more than a decade, we have been serving FQHCs operating in a wide variety of locations nationwide. During that time, we’ve developed a keen sense of the unique obstacles you face in the areas of compensation and fringe benefit planning.

First, it has become crucial to develop long-term strategies for attracting and retaining key members of your executive leadership team and your provider group. And second, this desire is often challenged by the reality of limited and constrained financial resources.

Your situation begs the question, “How can we do the best we can with what we have?”

At The Hebets Company, we’ve designed a unique platform that creatively considers this balancing act, allowing you to compete financially in today’s highly competitive landscape. The end result will be compensation and fringe benefit packages that are simultaneously affordable and attractive.

Our clients often tell their FQHC peers about our proven history of:

  • Helping organizations find a common voice for discussions and decision making
  • Demonstrating honor, compassion and creativity for utilizing constrained benefits budgets
  • Educating you about options and choices for designing an affordable and attractive compensation and benefits package.

Our Services

We will provide sound, cutting edge advice on some of the best methods for attracting and retaining exemplary mission-minded executives, providers, and employees.  We will evaluate the current FQHC compensation and retirement models, educate the FQHC executive team along with the Board of Directors regarding the compensation opportunities specific to not-for-profit organizations, and make a suggestion for the most appropriate model applicable to the specific FQHC.  These options include a wide variety of governmentally sanctioned programs that have been codified in the Internal Revenue Code under the following sections: 162(b), 457(b), 457(f), 403(b), split dollar plans, executive/employee bonus programs, and other bonus retirement hybrid strategies.  Additionally, there are other insurance and benefits based programs available to employees of not-for-profit FQHCs that may warrant exploration.

For each FQHC we work with, we seek to understand:

Company Direction – The long term goals and strategies as they relate to compensation of executives and providers.

Company Objectives – Short term needs and wants that the not-for-profit may have for pay and incentive packages.

Peoples’ Needs – What the employees, providers, and executives in the organization would like and need to have in their compensation package.

Economic Variables – The various federal and state revenue and fundraising issues that are unique to the industry and how they may affect compensation.
