Essentials of Health Care Finance

Blending the topics of both accounting and finance, Essentials of Health Care Finance is a relevant, readable, and easily applied resource for health care management students and executives that explores finance theory and its practical application in health care across a full range of facilities, from hospitals, home health agencies, and skilled nursing facilities to surgical centers, physician practices, and integrated health systems.

Other Key Updates include: - Changes to billing, coding, and documentation of health care services in specific settings. - An all-new overview of the current legal and regulatory provisions that impact today's healthcare manager in a thoroughly revised Chapter 4. - Updated information regarding the health policy environment and added examples. - New chapter questions and scenarios. - Excel formulas for important financial mathematics equations and ratios. - Updated information on reimbursement for long-term care and home health organizations in Chapter 12 (their payment models completely changed in 2019).
