What it reported doing in 2023

Community health partners is a federally qualified health center providing primary health care services for residents of park and gallatin counties in Montana. During 2023, our four medical clinics located in livingston, bozeman, belgrade and west yellowstone, and our two dental clinics located in livingston and bozeman, served 9,196 patients, providing medical, dental and integrated behavioral health services to all patients regardless of ability to pay. Patient fees for these services were adjusted using a sliding fee scale based on federal poverty guidelines. During fiscal year ending april 30, 2024, sliding fee discounts applied to patient visits totaled $753,715. As well, chp's onsite resource coordinators were able to provide assistance with health insurance enrollments and connections with community resources able to address non-medical needs. Pharmacy program staff assisted patients with applications for no-cost prescription medications, while the retail pharmacy filled 4,193 discounted prescriptions through the federal 340(b) program. We estimate that access to these pharmacy services provided savings of approximately $1,021,230 for our patients during the period july 1, 2023 through april 30, 2024.

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
