The Problem

Your staff is drowning in phone tag. Your trackers are always outdated. And Q4 is coming.

Your team gets MCO files from Aetna, Meridian, Molina, and half a dozen other payers, each in a different format. Someone has to normalize that data, figure out which patients actually have open gaps versus which ones already completed their visit but the provider coded it wrong, then make dozens of calls to get them scheduled. Multiply that across multiple clinic locations and your coordinators spend 80% of their time on coordination instead of care.

01

Your coordinators toggle between 5+ MCO portals and Athena all day, manually checking which gaps are real

80% of time spent on coordination, not care

02

Patients who already completed their screening show as 'open' because the visit was coded wrong

False positives tank your quality scores

03

Phone tag eats entire shifts. Patients don't pick up. Voicemails go unreturned

35% of outreach attempts never connect

04

Excel trackers are outdated the moment someone saves them. Status is invisible across sites

No real-time visibility into gap closure progress

The real problem

of care gaps flagged by MCOs are documentation errors, not missed screenings. Your team wastes hours chasing gaps that are already closed.

Why Focus Matters

Enterprise platforms treat care gaps as one of seven priorities. We treat it as our only one.

The big "AI workforce" platforms promise to automate everything on one platform. In practice, that means your care gap closure is competing for engineering attention with six other product lines and you're paying for breadth you'll never use.

Single focus, deeper product

Every sprint, every feature request, every customer conversation is about closing more care gaps. We're not splitting attention across seven product lines.

4-week go-live, not 4-month onboarding

Enterprise platforms take 3 to 6 months because they're configuring a general-purpose tool. We're purpose-built, so we ship faster.

Built for community health, not just health systems

Our team knows the difference between Meridian and Molina file formats, understands UDS reporting timelines, and won't try to sell you modules you don't need.

No vendor lock-in

We complement your existing stack. Keep your EHR, your analytics, your patient portal. We handle the gap closure workflow that sits between all of them.

Why Linear Health

Results

Trusted by community health centers closing thousands of care gaps monthly

80-90%staff capacity returned
Our team of eight used to spend entire days chasing care gaps across five different MCO files, manually checking if patients had already been seen, and calling patients who never picked up. Linear Health ingests all of our MCO data, catches the billing errors we were missing, and handles the patient outreach automatically. We're closing gaps we didn't even know were recoverable.

Your coordinators shouldn't be drowning inExcel trackers and phone tag

We built for the reality of community health centers: multiple MCO plans per patient, multi-site scheduling complexity, UDS deadlines, and teams that are already stretched thin.

"We're drowning in manual follow-ups, calls, and paperwork."

Automated outreach via SMS, email, and voice AI replaces hundreds of manual calls per month. Patients respond at 3x the rate of phone calls.

"Our Excel trackers are always outdated."

Real-time dashboards replace spreadsheets. Gap status updates automatically as patients schedule, complete visits, or get flagged for billing corrections.

"Athena handles some things, but there's no automation for what really matters."

We close the loop Athena can't: MCO file to patient outreach to scheduled appointment to documented closure. Native integration, not a bolt-on.

"We looked at the big platforms, but they're built for health systems, not for us."

Those platforms need 3 to 6 months to implement, charge enterprise pricing, and treat your FQHC like a small afterthought. We built for your reality from day one.

FQHC Capabilities
Multi-MCO file ingestion and normalization
Multi-site scheduling with location-based routing
Age, payer, and condition-based screening rules
Multi-language outreach (English, Spanish, and more)
Billing error detection and coding correction flags
UDS and HEDIS reporting-ready documentation

The financial reality: Nearly 50% of FQHCs operate with negative margins. Every unclosed care gap is revenue left on the table in your value-based contracts. Every miscoded visit is a bonus you earned but never collected.

CMS 2026

By March 31, 2026, payers must publicly report PA approval rates and response times. The January 2027 FHIR-based API mandate is next. Organizations that automate now will be positioned.
