Community Econsult Network Inc

Overview

Mission

Cecn's tax exempt purposes are improving efficacy and quality of healthcare provided to underserved and rural populations, and increasing and enabling access to medical specialists to those populations. Cecn uses the econsult platform which is an electronic web-based, hippa compliant communications platform for clinical consultations. The econsult activity directly furthers these purposes by providing a platform by which medically underserved individuals in need of specialty healthcare obtain access to the needed specialty healthcare directly through their primary care providers. In many cases, due to financial hardships, the lack of insurance, geographic restrictions or the absence of transportation, medically underserved patients do not have access to needed specialty care providers.

Operating model

Revenue model

Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.

Distribution model

Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most filed governance safeguards are in place. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
