Description

Location: Boston (Hybrid) Organization Summary: Community Care Cooperative (C3) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit multi-service organization governed by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Our mission is to leverage the collective strengths of FQHCs to improve the health and wellness of the people we serve. We fulfill two primary business functions for the FQHCs we work with. First, we are an FQHC-led accountable care organization (ACO); second, we are a Management Services Organization (MSO) for FQHCs. As an ACO, we negotiate value-based payor contracts on behalf of our FQHCs, hold and operate those contracts (including fulfilling many compliance, financial management, and population health management functions), and maximize the return to FQHCs of any incentive dollars earned. We are proud to be the market leader in the MassHealth ACO Program. We are the largest Medicaid ACO in Massachusetts, and we operate a variety of business offerings nationwide. As an MSO, we (along with our subsidiary companies, which are also FQHC-led non-profits) provide several financial, operational, and technological services to groups of FQHCs. These services include Epic EHR licensing and implementation; pharmacy operations consulting as well as the building and direct operation of on-site retail pharmacies; billing and credentialing; employer-sponsored insurance; and others. We are a fast-growing, dynamic organization developing new partnerships and programs to improve the health of members and communities, and to strengthen our health center partners. We have won “Best Places to Work” recognition from the Boston Globe for the last several years.
