Our Service is Covered by Medicare / Medicaid 

No cost to patients

Don’t miss the chance to offer your patients an AI-enabled, White-Glove, lung cancer screening that is fully covered by Medicare and Medicaid in most states.

We help you every step of the way without your staff shouldering any burden. No software to use, no staffing requirements, or cost to your patient.

We are an extension of your care team

We do all the work

Running a successful lung cancer screening program can be difficult for most Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).

We aim to simplify the process by providing the best care for your patients without the administrative management burden on your part. Our care team will handle all of the screening logistics for your patients, year after year.

“We can not ask your staff or primary care doctors to do one more thing.”

HELP ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY

Improve services for margenalized communities

Underserved patients, who may come from low-income backgrounds or lack access to quality healthcare, often do not receive proper screenings for preventable diseases.

By increasing access to preventative healthcare, Oatmeal Health helps underserved patients catch potential health issues early and get the care they need to live healthier lives.

HIGHER HEDIS QUALITY METRICS

Improve P4P incentives

Oatmeal Health’s lung cancer screening program can improve P4P incentives for FQHCs by improving their HEDIS scores and quality measures.

The program provides accessible and affordable screenings, benefiting underserved communities and leading to improved patient outcomes, satisfaction, and financial sustainability for FQHCs.

Together we can save lives.

IMPROVE HRSA 330 GRANT FUNDING

Increase the number of patients served each year

FQHCs are required, as part of their HRSA 330 grant funding, to increase the number of members they serve each year, including high-risk older adults. 

By partnering with Oatmeal Health we can help your FQHC increase the volume of services provided to older adults and sustain or increase 330 funding.

Oatmeal will help you get ready

Prepare for HEDIS to make lung reportable

Although lung cancer screening is not reportable as a HEDIS measure today, experts say it will become a measure soon. 

Let Oatmeal Health manage all your most critical screenings and help improve your metrics and reimbursement rates. 

Address Health Care Gaps

Continuous, high-quality clinical care to keep patients healthy and happy

By centralizing lung cancer screening, we help FQHCs improve the standard of care, increase the number of patients that are screened early for lung cancer, and dramatically increase survival rates.

What are partners are saying…

“Partnering with Oatmeal Health on this proof-of-concept project is important in terms of advancing lung cancer screening as a public health initiative. Equally important is bringing this opportunity to the patients we serve within the community health center movement who frequently suffer disproportionately, barriers to healthcare and lack of access to innovations in healthcare screening.”

Doug Spegman M.D.
Chief Clinical Officer, MSPH, FACP
El Rio Health
Arizona

“As the largest, rural Community Health Center in Oklahoma, one of the main focuses for our patients is access to affordable, quality care, with screenings being a big part of our primary and preventative mission. Our patients in rural areas often have many barriers to overcome, so partnering with Oatmeal will assist us in removing some of those barriers to provide the best possible access to lung cancer screenings available in the rural eastern portion of our state.”

Brooke Lattimore
COO
Health and Wellness Center

“We are pleased to partner with Oatmeal Health on this proof-of-concept initiative. We are proud to continue our commitment to equitable access to innovative screening technology for all members of our community as a crucial step in ensuring that under-represented populations in Massachusetts receive the care they deserve.”
