Is your FQHC Ready for Medicare AEP 2026?
Why AEP Matters to Your Health Center
1 in 4 clinic visits are seniors — and they’re comparing options each year
Clinics without a Medicare plan can lose up to 14% of their patient panel
Retaining seniors means protecting continuity of care and value-based scores
Medicare is more than compliance — it’s one of your biggest levers for sustainable growth

Waiting until AEP hits means you’re already behind. Medicare is no longer “just another program”—it’s either your biggest growth lever or your biggest retention risk.
Seniors are 1 in 4 visits — and they’re shopping every year. Without a Medicare growth strategy, FQHCs can lose up to 14% of their panel during AEP.
This October, don’t lose the patients who already trust you.
Alcar Health helps clinics turn Medicare into a growth engine — protecting revenue, strengthening continuity of care, and building long-term patient loyalty.
