Welcome to Borinquen Medical Centers

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (305) 576-6611

To further its commitment to improve the overall quality, efficiency, and value of health care services for the more than 27 million patients served at health centers, HRSA provides Quality Improvement Awards (QIA). These awards recognize the highest performing health centers nationwide as well as those health centers that have made significant quality improvement gains from the previous year.

Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Recognition

A medical home is not a place, but a way to organize primary care so it’s “the way patients want it to be.” Since 2008 we have built the most widely used medical home model. More than 13,000 practice sites and 67,000 clinicians have earned the NCQA PCMH Recognition seal.

Borinquen Medical Centers are Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) – NCQA’s highest designation.

AAAHC Medical Home accreditation is a symbol of prestige that you can be truly proud of; a mark of excellence honoring the fact that you adopt best practices and comply with nationally recognized Standards of care. For your patients, it provides comforting reassurance that they will receive high-quality care when they need it.
