The Universal Service Program for Rural Health Care has a very simple approach.
The Universal Service Program for Rural Health Care (USAC) funds the difference between rural and urban costs for voice and data services. In order to qualify there is a very detailed process that must be followed. Services that are currently in use must be priced using USAC-approved urban rates. Once confirmed, they are then compared to the rates that a qualified rural facility is currently paying for those services. USF Consultants specializes in optimizing federal funding - this plays a key role in maximizing your support.
USF Consultants starts by providing a full and detailed audit of your current services followed by a detailed graphic outline of your entire network. Then, USF Consultants will:
