Designed for both program administrators and clinicians, this session will provide participants with techniques to identify where revenue is going unclaimed and how to fix it. 
    • Nancy Smit, MBA, President & CEO, SHR Associates, Inc.
  • Cost Analysis Considerations
    Conducting a cost analysis is essential to determining appropriate fee schedules and identify areas for cost containment. This session will cover cost analysis models and the information needed to complete each model. Participants will also learn how to interpret cost analysis results and use them to improve health center operations. This training is most appropriate for program administrators.
    • Susan Gadon, MPA, Principal SDG Consulting
