The San Lowsingso Hospital near Sacramento, California, charges a group of patients a total of $1 million. Historically, this group has only been charged 45 percent of the total because of explicit and implicit price concessions. After that, the hospital estimates that it has a 40 percent chance of collecting the entire amount but a 60 percent chance of collecting 70 percent. What amount of patient service revenues are recognized? Assume the most likely outcome approach is applied?

The hospital’s fixed costs are $38 million: What is the hospital’s net income? Assume that half of the 100,000 covered lives in the commercial payer group will be moved into a capitated plan. All utilization and cost data remain the same. What PMPM rate will the hospital have to charge to retain their Part a net income? What overall net income would be produced if the admission rate of the capitated group were reduced from the commercial level by 10 percent? Assuming that the utilization reduction also occurs, what overall net income would be produced if the variable cost per admission for the capitated group were lowered to $2,200?
Assume that a certain nursing home has two categories of payers. Medicaid pays las $60.00 per day and private pay patients pay the established per diem, but approximately 10 percent of private pay charges are not collected. If 50 percent of the patients are Medicaid and 50 percent are private pay, what rate must be set to rep generate $150,000 in profit? Variable costs are $45.00 per day and fixed costs are expected to be $1,000,000. Expected volume is 50,000 patient days. Using this data and assuming that the nursing home charges $100 per day, what would be the nursing home's required volume (in patient days) in order to make $150,000 profit?
San Juan Health Department's dental clinic projects the following costs and rates for the year 20XX.Total fixed costs: $225,000Variable costs: $60 per patientCharges: $250 per patient Using the information above, determine the break-even point in patients? Using the information above, determine the break-even point in dollars? If the clinic decided it would like to make a profit of $8,000, what is the new break-even point in patients? If the clinic decided it would like to make a profit of $8,000 at 1,226 patients, what is the new break-even point in dollars?
Fulton National Hospital is reviewing ways of cutting the costs for stocking medical supplies. Two new stockless systems are being considered to lower the hospital's holding and handling costs. The hospital's industrial engineer has compiled the relevant financial data for each system, as follows, where dollar values are in millions: The system life of eight years represents the contract period with the medicalsuppliers. If the hospital's MARR is 10%, which system is more economical?
General Hospital, a not-for-profit acute care facility, has the following cost structure for its inpatient services Fixed $10,000,000 Variable cost per inpatient day 200 Charge (revenue) per inpatient day 1000 The hospital expects to have a patient load of 15,000 inpatient days next year. a. Construct the hospital’s base case projected P&L statement. b. What is the hospital’s breakeven point? c. What volume is required to provide a profit of $1,000,000? A profit of $500,000? d. Now, assume that 20 percent of the hospital’s inpatient days come from a managed care plan that requests a 25 percent discount from charges. Should the hospital agree to the discount proposal?

Janet Gilbert is director of labs. She has some extra capacity and has contracted with some small neighboring hospitals to run some of their lab tests. She has recently had a study conducted and has determined that her costs for these contracts are $50,000, of which $7,000 is the variable cost of supplies. The rest is non-avoidable fixed cost. She currently charges an average of $30 per test. She is thinking of lowering her price by 20% in hopes of raising her current volume of 20,000 tests by 25%. If she does so, she expects her variable cost per test will go up by 5%. Determine the following: What are the current revenues and the predicted revenues if these changes are made? What are the current variable costs and the predicted variable costs if these changes are made? What is the total contribution margin and the predicted contribution margin if these changes are made? What is the product margin? Should Janet make these proposed changes to her fees? You will answer YES…
Lutheran Regional Hospital uses a planning process to define a new radiology service line. The decision matrix gave it a high priority, and administrators want to evaluate its financial feasibility. Estimated fixed costs are $1 million, and the estimated net reimbursement level is $1,500 per procedure. Physician and other provider salaries on a direct basis are $340 per procedure, and total operating expenses will add another $160 per procedure. Calculate the breakeven point for this potential new service line.

Should Reward One accept this special order?assume that monthly capacity is 12,000 windows. Reward One is concerned that if it accepts the special order, its existing customers will immediately demand a price discount of $20 in the month in which the special order is being filled. They would argue that Reward One’s capacity costs are now being spread over more units and that existing customers should get the benefit of these lower costs. Should Reward One accept the special order under these conditions? Show your calculations.
