Healthcare – Patient Revenue Budget

What is a Patient Revenue Budget? Patient Revenue input forms are considered key components of a healthcare budget model and are often used by budget managers to calculate the various components that make up the expected patient revenue. Key functionality in this type of form provides input of items like charge units, charge rates and price increases. Based on revenue assumptions, it then calculates the total revenue amounts for areas such as inpatient and outpatient activities. You will find an example of this type of form below.

Purpose of Patient Revenue Models Hospitals and clinics use Patient Revenue Models to enable dynamic and easy-to-maintain revenue planning. When used as part of good business practices in a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) department, an organization can improve its revenue planning process, as well as, reduce the chances that budgets become static and where adaptation to changing circumstances becomes time consuming.

Who Uses This Type of Form? The typical users of this type of form are: Budget Managers, analysts and CFOs. Other Forms Often Used in Conjunction with Patient Revenue Models Progressive Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Departments sometimes use several different Patient Revenue Models, along with the rest of their budget model and other management and control tools.
