EXCELth Primary Healthcare

What EXCELth Primary Healthcare does

EXCELth Primary Healthcare (legal name EXCELth, Incorporated) is a private, not-for-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1991 and headquartered at 1515 Poydras St, New Orleans, Louisiana. It operates the EXCELth Primary Care Network — four fixed clinical sites in Orleans Parish (Algiers Family Dental, Algiers Family Health, Gentilly Family Health, and New Orleans East Family Health and Dental) plus a Behavioral Health Center in East Baton Rouge Parish — and runs mobile dental units that serve schools, senior centers, and Head Start programs. Its core service lines are Primary Care (chronic illness management, family planning, immunizations, OB/GYN), Dental Services (diagnostic, preventive, restorative, surgical, including via NYU Langone-affiliated residency program), Behavioral Health (individual/family therapy, psychiatric assessments, telepsychiatry), and Mobile Dental outreach, with pharmacy services, care coordination, and social services as supporting offerings.

The organization's technology stack is conventional for an FQHC: electronic health records (EHR) deployed starting in 2008 at Algiers and expanded to mobile units in 2009, the Phreesia platform for online appointment requests and patient payments, and RevUP for patient onboarding. EHR data feeds HRSA's Uniform Data System reporting, supporting quality badges such as HCQL Silver, UDS Early Adopter, and NCQA PPC-PCMH Level 3 recognition.

EXCELth's business model combines federal FQHC grant funding from the HHS Bureau of Primary Health Care (under 42 U.S.C. 254b) with reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid (including LACHIP for dental), GNOCHC, and commercial insurance, supplemented by a federally compliant sliding fee scale (minimum $25 for households at 100%-200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines). Patients access care regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. The organization employs between 101-250 staff, has been led by CEO Michael A. Andry since 1992, is governed by a consumer board of directors, and reports no venture or PE funding.
