What is the Healthcare Connect Fund Program?

CONNECTING HEALTHCARE WITH FEDERAL FUNDING

The Healthcare Connect Fund program (HCF) is a federal program that falls under the FCC and is administered by the Universal Services Administration Company (USAC). It helps rural Health Care Providers (HCPs) and urban hospitals (in a consortium*) access 65% discounts on eligible data circuits, internet circuits, and cutting-edge equipment.

*a consortium is an established group of HCPs including a mix of eligible rural and urban sites where the majority is rural.
