By filing the Form 465, rural healthcare providers are able to begin the process of funding their networks for the 2011 funding year, which begins on July 1, 2011 and ends on June 30, 2012. The 465 form serves as a "Description of Services Requested and Certification," describing the type of support for which the applicant is requesting funding. By submitting the form, rural healthcare providers are able to become eligible for funding through the Universal Service fund and are posted on the USAC website. Telecommunications service providers, like TeleQuality Communications, Inc. can then propose services that will help the healthcare provider improve the technology and care offered to their patients.
Why is it important to know about the Universal Service Fund, and apply for support? Because the benefits that USAC provides for rural hospitals and clinics can add incredible value to your organization, both financially and technologically. In today's advanced society, health care facilities have come to rely on fast, secure networks to keep their patients happy and healthy. The Universal Service Fund helps rural healthcare providers implement the same efficient technology used by large, urban hospitals without the large financial burdens associated with long distance service. Here at Rural Health Telecom, we operate under the same belief that every hospital or clinic, no matter the lcoation, deserves the ability to offer the best care possible.
