Cases in Healthcare Finance, Third Edition

Enriched by theory but focusing on practice, this edition includes a new case on physician productivity and pay for performance, new ethics mini-cases on collection practices and charges for the uninsured and physical payment for referrals, new spreadsheet models and a new preface for students, and previews of cases for quick review. Cases cover health care financial accounting and managerial accounting, financial management basics, capital acquisition and investment, and aspects of working capital. The cases offer significant insight into such issues as bonding, pricing, costs and perceptions in analysis that may lead to errors in reporting, and labor costs particular to health care practitioners.
