Safety-Net Intelligence
The 340B covered-entity universe: health centers, who operates them, where capacity is stretched thinnest, who can bill and where the network is growing.
Open Safety-Net Intelligence -- in the sidebar under Markets (labelled Safety-Net Intel).
Federally qualified health centers and look-alikes are the 340B covered-entity universe. They buy drugs at statutory discounts, they serve underserved populations, and they are organised into a much smaller number of health center organizations that each run many sites.
This view maps that universe. It is sourced from the HRSA Health Center Program site list and HRSA HPSA shortage-area data.
KPI band
Hover any figure for how it is counted.
| Metric | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Covered-entity sites | 340B-eligible service delivery sites: FQHCs, look-alikes and their satellite clinics. Locations, not organizations. |
| Organizations | Distinct health center organizations behind those sites -- the entity that signs contracts and holds the 340B account. These are the target accounts. |
| States | States and territories with at least one covered-entity site |
| Billable (NPI) | Share of sites that publish an NPI, which is what lets a site bill payers and be matched to claims and prescribing data |
Tabs
Access gaps
Where is safety-net capacity thinnest against shortage burden? The tab badge counts the under-served states.
- Safety-net capacity vs shortage burden -- a scatter plot with one dot per state: shortage-area records in the state (need) against covered-entity sites (capacity). The dashed balance line is the national ratio of sites per shortage area. States below it have fewer sites than that ratio predicts and are marked under-served -- the access deserts.
- Hover a dot for its sites, shortage areas and sites per area. Click it to open the Health Centers table filtered to that state.
- Switch between an even-spread (square-root) scale, which spreads the small states apart, and a linear scale.
- Export downloads the state-by-state capacity as CSV; View on map opens the Map on the Health Centers dataset.
- Site composition breaks the sites down by location type and by grantee organization type.
Priority targets
"Who to call first": the top 20 health center organizations (those running at least three sites), each with an opportunity score from 0 to 100 built from four parts:
| Part | Up to | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Reach | 30 points | How many sites the organization runs, on a log scale against the largest |
| Bill-ready | 30 points | Share of its sites with both an NPI and a Medicare billing number |
| High-need | 25 points | Share of its sites in under-served states (from the Access gaps tab) |
| Growth | 15 points | Sites added in the last three years, as a share of its sites |
The bar on each row shows how much each part contributes. Sort by Score, Reach, Bill-ready, High-need or Growth to lead with the signal you care about. The score is a ranking device, not a forecast.
Organizations
Largest health center organizations: the organizations running the most covered-entity sites. Each is a single account controlling many locations, which is the practical unit of a 340B sales motion.
Billing readiness
Which sites can actually bill Medicare? A site with both an NPI and a Medicare billing number is a live, reimbursable point of care; registrations without identifiers are not customers yet.
- The share of reimbursable sites, and Reimbursable organizations: the 15 organizations with the most reimbursable sites.
- Service intensity breaks the sites down by operational schedule and by site setting.
Growth
When and where the safety net is expanding. The tab badge shows how many sites were added in the last three years.
- Expansion timeline -- sites added per year (or cumulative), with the last three years compared with the three before.
- Where it's growing now -- the states and the organizations adding the most sites in the last three years. State rows open the Health Centers table for that state.
- Latest openings -- the 20 most recently added sites.
Site targets
Covered-entity site list: the first 200 sites alphabetically, with health center and site name, operator, location, status and NPI. Export downloads the list as CSV; Open full table opens the Health Centers table to browse or filter every site.
How this connects to the rest of Qope
- State links open the Health Centers table filtered to that state.
- Shortage-area detail is in the Shortage Areas table; underserved-area context is in MUA.
- To follow a county's shortage designations over time, watch it on Radar from the county list in the Territory Brief.
Limitations
- Site status reflects the HRSA scope file. A site can be in scope and not yet operating.
- Billing readiness is inferred from the presence of identifiers, not from observed claims.
- The organization roll-up uses the health center name as published. Where HRSA does not tag a parent, related organizations stay separate.
- The shortage side of the Access gaps comparison counts every shortage-area record HRSA lists for the state. It is a measure of relative burden, not a count of distinct designations; for distinct active designations, use the Territory Brief.
- When the site file is larger than one load, the footnote says how many sites were analyzed out of the total, and every breakdown is computed from the sites loaded.
- Opening the page uses one credit. See Usage and Limits.
