Financial Principles and Reimbursement

Reimbursement Strategies

This section of your paper is no more than half a page. You will use research to define case rates and management utilization. Then you will show how these factors impact pay for performance incentives. (Assume your reader knows what pay for performance is.)

Reimbursement Methods

This section of your paper can easily be written as a chart. You will want to choose methods that are dissimilar enough to allow for comparison. Please use the chart I have provided for this section. (I know you are busy! I’m trying to make your life easier.) You need no further explanation other than the chart.

Financial Management Principles

Another Chart! You need no additional information other than what you include in the chart. You will include three of the financial management principles listed within the assignment directions (revenue reimbursement, benchmarking of industry standards, payer-mix breakdown of payers, case rate and utilization rate data) to identify how they are used to evaluate operational performance.
