The Healthcare Financial Management Association is offering a new hospital revenue modeling tool in its online Resource Library.
HFMA says the tool provides a platform to analyze shifts in revenue and changes in net income that would result from a government-run option in the health insurance market.
The model is based on financial information that users can enter for a particular hospital. It displays results based on assumptions used in perspective models developed by third-party research groups, including the Commonwealth Fund and The Lewin Group.
The spreadsheet-based model also provides an opportunity for users to create their own scenarios.
