Community Health Center Proposed Budget University of New England DR. David BeardenSchool Finance-EDU 709April 25, 2012
Medicaid 12% increase • SAGA 10% increase • Self Pay increased by 18% • Medicare 17% increase • Insurance 5.92% increase • The above have consistent increases each year which in turn increases patient revenue by 11.65%.
11.65% Increase in Patient Revenue is the result of hiring more providers e.g. MD, Nurse Practitioners, and needed support staff so the numbers of patients and visits increased.
8% shows increase in salaries that includes MD and NP and the support staff needed to see patients • 10.79% increase in benefits. Dental added to existing benefit package
20% Professional Consultants will increase significantly because the center is continuing to add Behavioral health services through contracts rather than hiring as center employees • 25% increase in Consultants for MIS finance. The center is implementing an Electronic Medical Records System for all patients. • Other consulting costs reduced as will be done internally.
15% increase in plant operations as they will expand new services e.g. open evenings and weekends • 40% increase to continue a major marketing plan to get more patients into care. • 40% increase in lab services because they will be adding dental services for our patients. • Medical Supplies will increase by 10% as they will see more patients. • Outside Services increases by 40% due to added professional staff expenses.
Supplies increased by 6.05% as more patients will be seen. • Travel Expense increase of 6.93% • Miscellaneous Expenses increased 4.72% • Total Expenses increased to 8.06%
Total Expenses increase of 8.06% • Net Income increase to 31.39% due to increase in patient visit volume and control of expenses planned. • The Health center continues to expand acquiring both patients and employees each year. Revenue and Expenses reflect this future growth.
Defense of Decisions • After several discussions with Kathy G. we discussed several options and changes to my initial budget. I needed to decrease marketing along with the patients self pay. Also my Gross Profit percentage was not accurate. • Together we made changes to get this proposed finalized budget for the next year
Personal Learning • We made several comparisons between a regular school system and the Community Health Center. • We discussed the similarities and differences in grants, salaries, benefits, increases, and decreases per year. • Overall I was able to maximize my finance knowledge through our conversations and Microsoft Excel spreadsheet comparisons. It was a great learning experience.
