Three Rivers Community Health Group

What Three Rivers Community Health Group does

Three Rivers Community Health Group is a Tennessee-incorporated, federally-qualified non-profit community health center founded in 1979 that operates four clinical facilities across Perry and Hickman Counties in rural middle Tennessee. Its core service portfolio spans primary medical care, dental care (pediatric and adult), behavioral health counseling, on-site X-ray and laboratory diagnostics, immunizations, and telehealth delivered via video, phone, and text. The organization also runs the federal 340B Drug Discount Program, a sliding-fee scale based on patient income, a multilingual service offering (video interpreting in 29 languages plus telephone interpreting), and InteliChart-based patient portal access for scheduling, records, and billing.

The underlying technology stack is conventional community-health-center infrastructure rather than a differentiated platform: NextGen Healthcare EHR supported by the non-profit OSIS organization, the InteliChart patient portal, a video/phone/text telehealth layer, and external HRSA-recognized quality programs. No proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, or app/API surface are disclosed.

Revenue mechanics combine several streams: fee-for-service billing to insurers (including TennCare/Medicaid and commercial plans), patient co-pays on the sliding-fee schedule, drug-spread margin from the 340B pharmacy program, federal FQHC grant funding from HHS, and Public Health Service deemed-status malpractice coverage under the FTCA. The go-to-market is direct-to-patient community service with no paid marketing; patient acquisition is driven by local reputation, healthcare.gov partnerships, and a stated policy of not turning patients away regardless of ability to pay. Leadership is a Nurse Practitioner CEO (Dr. Phillip Tatum) supported by a CMO, a Dental Director, and a community-representative Board of Directors; the organization employs 101–250 staff.
