Understanding Your Cost of Care as a Health Center - NCA FEATURED

Description

This session will introduce two new resources related to calculating and benchmarking your health center’s cost of care. The first resource focuses on presenting a methodology for calculating cost of care, including appropriately allocating direct and indirect costs to various services. The second resource presents health center cost of care trends based on UDS data for use as a benchmarking tool, providing comparative data for health centers of various sizes, in urban/rural locations, and based on comprehensiveness of care. Capital Link staff and a health center CFO will discuss the importance of using this information and data in a fee-for-service environment and as the sector transitions to a value-based reimbursement.
