What if your health center is leaving $9,000 to $40,000 on the table every single month? In this episode, Jill Steeley sits down with Howard Archer, CEO of Fix Healthcare Technology, LLC, to discuss how RetroCAID is helping federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) automatically recover hundreds of thousands—even millions—of dollars annually in retroactive Medicaid reimbursements.

Howard shares the shocking reality: 17% of uncompensated encounters become eligible for Medicaid reimbursement within timely filing, but most health centers are missing these opportunities because Medicaid eligibility is constantly changing. One of Jill's clients received a $58,000 check in their first month using RetroCAID—money that would have expired without automated monitoring.

Discover how this passive monitoring system works, why it requires zero EHR integration, and how health centers are implementing it in less than 60 minutes with guaranteed results.
