Yuvo wants to help the 1,400 Federally Qualified Health Centers in the US grow revenue and capacity. His startup, Yuvo, helps community health centers participate in value-based programs from insurance companies, which rewards health care providers with incentive payments for the quality of care they give people. As a middle man between the insurance providers and the health centers, Yuvo opens up access for these health centers to participate in the programs by assuming the risk involved in some of these contracts. From the success of the program, Yuvo added five other health centers in New York and Ohio, said Herrera. "We can double the revenue of health centers for many patients and that's game changing for an organization," said Herrera.
