• Traditional Medicare– Paid by 60‐day episodes

Projecting Revenue for Budgeting

– Complex

–Multiple types of adjustments

– Annually updated by CMS

– Changes often unpredictable

17

– Difficult to understand affects of variables

– Recommend use of revenue template for predicting Medicare revenue

• Can be simple or complex depending upon level of accuracy desired

Medicare Revenue Template

• Provides ability for “what if” scenarios

• Excellent for making management decisions for improvements, KPIs, Key Performance Indicators

• What would you need to beginA hi t i l d t
