“CHC/ACT highly recommends Curt Degenfelder Consulting. Curt has tremendous knowledge and experience in the FQHC space. He provided us with great support for our PPS rate issues as well as a nuanced understanding of how our issues compare to other states and how we could address and improve our regulatory processes.”

“Community Health Partnership of Illinois used Curt Degenfelder consulting to help us complete our three-year strategic plan. Curt’s systematic approach allowed us to use the building blocks we had previously developed to create an effective plan that covers all of the key elements of our organization’s strategic transformation beyond our original migrant and seasonal agricultural worker focus to serve additional patients in our communities. Curt and Kerry had multiple interactions with our staff, refining all of the key elements. Curt also presented at our strategic retreat, to both our Board & leadership team, as well as to all staff, which was lively and well-received by all.”

“Curt Degenfelder is a trusted and sought-after speaker at our conferences. He consistently delivers fresh, insightful perspectives on the finances and operations of health centers, making his sessions invaluable to our members.”

“I was thrilled when my Board approved for me to retain Curt Degenfelder to perform a Medicaid rate analysis.  Curt immediately jumped to the heart of the matter and identified two options for us that will place us in a much better financial situation.  His proposal stated that he would get the work finalized within 5-weeks and he got everything finalized within 4-weeks, amazing! He did a thorough financial analysis and helped us select the best options for our organization.  He also helped us implement the new rate and hooked us up with a peer health center that was able to answer some additional questions to help further speed up the process.”

“Montana loves Curt Degenfelder. He has been a featured speaker for the Montana Primary Care Association for many years. He takes complicated financial issues and models and shows us how to apply them right now. He listens to our members and is able to apply his trainings to the real circumstances in rural and frontier centers as well as our larger centers. Our members always look forward to hearing him speak. We wish he lived here!”

“We hired Curt Degenfelder to help us with a complicated Alternative Payment Methodology Change In Scope. He designed a thoughtful and systematic process towards completing the project. We were able to utilize multiple resources in our center to come up with a good result. Curt worked collaboratively with key stakeholders including the Primary Care Association and the Oregon Health Authority for a successful outcome. Curt has been a real asset to us, and to health centers in Oregon.”

“Progressive Community Health Centers recently partnered with Curt Degenfelder Consulting to develop a forward-looking three-year strategic plan. In today’s ever-changing healthcare environment, Curt demonstrated a deep commitment to understanding our organization, visiting all our sites, engaging with staff and leadership, and listening to the voices of our community partners. He facilitated a thoughtful planning process that included a diverse Strategic Planning Committee and meaningful input from our Board. The result is a clear, actionable roadmap that reflects our mission and positions us for continued growth and impact.”

“We had a very complex PPS/APCM Change In Scope request. We brought in Curt Degenfelder to help us with the process and conversations with the State. Curt’s keen insight, analytic support, and clear explanations helped guide Mosaic and the State, and we received a solid new Medicaid rate.”

“We are extremely happy with the assistance Curt Degenfelder Consulting provided in developing a three-year strategic plan. Curt and Kerry came onsite worked closely with our team to align the planning process and identify what was most important to Vista. They worked with us to explore strategic planning issues including facilities and technology and addressed the impact of potential state and federal policy changes. The final strategic plan enables us to adapt to the changing healthcare landscape and sustain our operational efficiency while supporting our mission. Also, with Curt’s background in finance and many years of experience working with FQHCs, he provided invaluable financial insights and strategic guidance to our organization during the development of our strategic plan. Curt and Kerry’s ability to distill complex data into clear, actionable insights significantly strengthened the foundation of our planning process.”

“QueensCare Health Centers has been fortunate to have partnered with Curt to develop its last three strategic plans. Our most recent strategic planning efforts were interrupted by the pandemic. Curt quickly shifted from leading our strategic planning activities to trusted advisor. He helped our leadership team with emergent strategies to respond to the pandemic but also kept them thinking about and planning for the future.

We recently finished our strategic plan. In the meetings, some were reluctant to contribute to the dialogue but Curt has a way of drawing people out and in the end, I felt confident that we were able to align our team around a common vision, goals, and action plan.

His knowledge and experience in the healthcare industry have been a great contribution to QueenCare Health Centers.”
