A county medical agency is considering two mutually exclusive options for treatment of a chronic illness in a population ot elderly patients. For cach option the agency has initial outlays (for equipment and initial training) and annual expenses. Patient benefits are measured in terms of quality of life, and patient costs are measured in terms of lost income due to treatment. Estimates have been made of the dollar value of both. Each option has a lifetime of 5 years, after which new options will be considered based on the technology available then. MARR is 5%. A B Investment (t = O) $120,000 $165,000 55,000 200,000 18,000 Annual expense 35.000 Annual patient benefits Annual patient costs 175,000 12,000 What is the incremental BC when the two are compared? Select the answer closest to this value.

Keating Hospital is considering two different low-field MRI systems: the Clearlook System and the Goodview System. The projected annual revenues, annual costs, capital outlays, and project life for each system (in after-tax cash flows) are as follows: Assume that the cost of capital for the company is 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the NPV for the Clearlook System. 2. Calculate the NPV for the Goodview System. Which MRI system would be chosen? 3. What if Keating Hospital wants to know why IRR is not being used for the investment analysis? Calculate the IRR for each project and explain why it is not suitable for choosing among mutually exclusive investments.
the hospital must decide whether or not to purchase new respirators. These respirators will help patients of covid – 19, and it will reduce the costs to patients at an estimated value of 100,000 Php. The prices of these 3 respirators are 500,000 Php for the first year, 550,000 Php for the second year, and 600,000 Php for the third year. If the interest rate for the acquisition of these respirators is 12%, determine the net present value for these respirators. Using the formula NPV=FV-OCW
A good health insurance plan should: Multiple Choice O impose no unreasonable exclusions. provide at least a $1 million lifetime maximum for each family member. pay at least 80 percent for out-of-hospital expenses after the yearly deductible. provide least 120 days' hospital room and board in full. offer all of the listed provisions.
Assume that the entity is a private not-for-profit hospital. During Year 2, the hospital has two portfolios: patients with insurance and patients without insurance. Work with a standard charge of $2 million is done for the first group and work with a standard charge of $1 million is done for the second group. Insurance companies have contracts that create explicit price concessions. The hospital believes it has a 60 percent chance of collecting $1.5 million and a 40 percent chance of collecting $1.3 million. Because of the high cost of health care, uninsured patients receive a variety of implicit price concessions. The hospital believes it has a 70 percent chance of collecting $300,000 and a 30 percent chance of collecting $200,000. The hospital reported exchange revenue of $3 million and a provision for bad debt (a contra revenue account) of $1.2 million to drop the reported balance to the expected collection amount. Assume the hospital wants to use the most likely amount where…
VIP-MD is a health maintenance organization (HMO) located in North Carolina. Unlike the traditional fee-for-service model that determines the payment according to the actual services used or costs incurred, VIP-MD receives a fixed, prepaid amount from subscribers. The per member, per month rate (PMPM) is determined by estimating the health care cost per enrollee within a geographic location. The average health care coverage in North Carolina costs $376 per month, which is the same amount irrespective of the subscriber’s age. Because individuals are demanding quality care at reasonable rates, VIP-MD must contain its costs to remain competitive. A major competitor, National Physicians, entered the North Carolina market early in the current year with a monthly premium of $333. VIP-MD wants to maintain its current market penetration and hopes to increase its enrollees in the current year. The latest data on the number of enrollees and the associated costs follow: Age Enrollment in…
Two locations are considered for a new public small hospital. Location A would require an investrment of $3.4 million and $55,000 per ycar to maintain. Location B would cost $4.8 million to construct. The operating cost of location B will be $43,000 per year. The benefits will be $550,000 per year at location A and 5750000 at location B The disbenefits associated with each location are $35,000 per year for location A and $45,000 per year for location B. Assame the hospital will be maintained indefinitely Use an interest rate of 12% per year to determine which location, if either, should be selected on the basis of the BC method.
The Anacome County Health Department is considering using 300 square feet of excess office space to provide a clinic for Healthchek visits. These visits are reimbursed $75 under a Medicaid program. Variable costs per visit are $45, and providing the service requires an additional physician assistant and nurse with prorated salaries of $85,000 and $65,000 respectively. The state has mandated efforts to increase the utilization of of Medicaid eligibility, so the Department of Social Services is conducting interventions to increase eligibility awareness in the community. As a result, the health department expects 12,000 Healthchek visits in the coming year. Nonavoidable overhead costs for the health department are $300,000 per year and will be allocated to each program based on its proportional share of the health department's total office space of 2,700 square feet. What are the total contribution margin and total product margin for a Healthchek visit? Considering the total…

Botox injections for wrinkles: $5,000 Treatment for a broken toe: $5,000 ($5,000 reimbursed by insurance) Doctor-prescribed knee brace: $1,500 Child-care while in the hospital for doctor- ordered knee surgery: $350 Deductible- Yes or No?
A not-for-profit hospital realizes a 3 percent return on its $200,000 investment in its home health unit. Its current revenue after discounts and allowances is $382,000. Administrative costs are $119,000, clinical personnel costs are $210,000, and supply costs are $47,000. Providing home health care is not a core goal of the hospital, and it will sell the home health unit if it cannot realize a return of at least 12 percent. A process improvement team has recommended changes to the home health unit's billing processes. The team has concluded that these changes could reduce costs by $20,000 and increase revenues by $5,000. Analyze the data that follow and assess whether the changes would make the home health unit profitable enough to keep. Old New Revenue 382,000 387,000 Cost 376,000 356,000 Profit…
