What may you do as a health care financial manager to monitor the accounts receivables?

2.  In the late 80s and through the mid 90s many providers assumed that they would make a great deal of money under capitated arrangements.  Instead, a large number of clinics faced bankruptcy directly attributable to capitated contracts that they had executed.  What providers failed to realize is that insurance is based on risk pools and that each patient’s capitation wasn’t just meant to cover that patient’s expenses but would be have to pooled across the practice.  As capitation once again becomes an industry ploy, what do you think providers can do to insulate themselves from the failures of the past?

3. Does the concept of revenue less expense equaling an increase in equity or fund balance make sense to you? If not, why not? Are you familiar with the current maturity of long-term debt?
