How the Healthcare Connect Fund Works – and How We Help

The Healthcare Connect Fund (HCF) is a federal program that helps healthcare providers receive up to 65% subsidy on broadband and network costs. These savings free up your budget for other things like operational expenses, IT upgrades, and patient care.

Unfortunately, the HCF application process can be complex and time-consuming. Strict rules, multiple forms, and ongoing compliance requirements often leave healthcare teams feeling stretched thin.

That’s where we come in.

HealthConnect Networks guides you through every step – from checking your eligibility and filing forms to managing your subsidy disbursement each month. Our experts make sure you get every dollar you’re eligible for, without the stress or administrative burden.
