Your patient intake partner
Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) like yours play a critical role in our health system, providing care to millions of patients living in underserved communities.

Say goodbye to clipboards and scanning
Phreesia is designed to save your team—and your patients—the headache of check-in forms. Whether patients register at home, in your parking lot or in your office, Phreesia’s intake tools help streamline your operations, while giving patients the safe, contactless options they want and your providers the specific information they need.
Send texts or emails that let your patients register up to a week before their appointment. They can check in from their mobile device at home, in their car or in another designated area when they arrive at your office. Mobile offers patients a convenient and contactless way to update their medical history, sign consents, make payments and take photos to store in their patient record.
The right questions, the right answers
From behavioral health and pediatrics to oncology and internal medicine, FQHC organizations serve a wide range of patient types, each with their own specific health risks and needs. Phreesia tailors the patient experience to each individual, capturing medical, family and social history, payment information and consents. The data is automatically sent back to your EHR/PM system, allowing you to capture a complete patient record.
- Deliver patient-specific, guided intake interviews on any device
- Capture a complete patient record, including key data points such as sexual orientation, veteran status and gender
- Collect patient medical and social history, payments and e-signature consents
- Integrate patient data with your EHR/PM system
Activate patients throughout their journey
What if you could engage patients and empower them to take a more active role in their care? Phreesia Health Campaigns allows you to send targeted messages to the right patients at the right time and prompts them to self-schedule specific appointments, such as nurse visits for flu vaccines, mammograms, DEXA scans and other preventive screenings. Health Campaigns activates patients in their care and helps you improve clinical quality, boost patient recall, and align clinical operations with both fee-for-service and value-based payment models. This reduces call volume and scheduling workload for your staff, gives providers more time during the visit and encourages patients to take charge of their health.
- Identify target patient populations in need of specific appointment types
- Present custom messages to patients during intake or between visits, prompting them to request or self-schedule appointments
- Monitor and analyze outreach metrics and patient responses
- Enhance quality performance by driving preventive care
- Maximize time with patients to deliver quality care and a better patient experience
Insurance verification for government and private-payer patients
Need to verify a patient’s insurance coverage? We’ll tell you. Not sure who is eligible for a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit? We have that, too. While not all of your patients will owe a copay, Phreesia helps ensure you’re collecting from those who do and automatically calculates the balance. Our automated Eligibility & Benefits application gives your staff the data they need in a manageable, simple-to-understand format.
- Automatically verify insurance before or during the visit
- Identify benefit information, such as co-insurance and deductibles
- Accelerate reimbursement by reducing pending and denied claims
Support your patients’ behavioral health and wellness goals
As an FQHC, you take responsibility for your patients’ behavioral health. Phreesia understands this, and our clinical support applications can help create a more systematic approach to managing mental wellness in your patient panel.
- Trigger clinical screenings for depression, anxiety, alcohol use and more
- Automatically capture the results to help you collect reimbursements
- Track and report on patient insights to ensure your organization is meeting HRSA requirements
Wondering if your patients are satisfied with their care?
What do your patients think about their visits? We know your staff doesn’t always have the bandwidth to ask these questions, so Phreesia’s FQHC patient satisfaction surveys do just that—collect patient feedback in real time for you, giving you a clear picture of what they think. As an FQHC organization, collecting patient feedback helps you improve services, generate patient referrals and boost reimbursement rates.
- Track patient perceptions
- Identify service issues
- Customize questions based on location and visit type
- Measure progress on practice improvement efforts
- Prepare for incentive-based patient satisfaction reports

Addressing social determinants of health
We know your patients’ health goes beyond the exam-room walls—they may face a difficult home life or lack access to healthy food, transportation or social support within their communities. Phreesia helps you leverage intake to privately ask patients about these matters and other social determinants that can have a critical impact on their health. The information you collect about the social and economic factors that influence their access to care helps you better understand your patients and connect them to the services they need to improve their overall quality of life.
