25 The Unique Alternative to the Big Four ® © 2011 Crowe Horwath LLP 25 Audit | Tax | Advisory | Risk | Performance Fundamentals for the Month End Close Reporting Process Identify Appropriate Month End Close Team  Should Include Finance, PFS & MC Resources  IT maybe necessary depending on source of data  Make inquiries of revenue cycle & managed care Develop and Outline Standard Process  Process should included Timeline & Checklists  Assignment of Reporting & Close Model Completion  Assign Roles & Responsibilities with back-ups  Separation of Duties: Preparer vs. Reviewer Leverage Technology to Accelerate Process  Automate, Update & Refresh Assumptions  Recast New Assumptions against Prior Period AR  Decrease time spent “building” models  Increase time spent analyzing and prescribing PeopleProcessTechnology

30 The Unique Alternative to the Big Four ® © 2011 Crowe Horwath LLP 30 Audit | Tax | Advisory | Risk | Performance Process: Standardize Pre-Close Activities Revenue Management Team Meeting: “Pre-Close” Discussion  Determine Regular Meeting Time – 5 Days Prior to Day 1  Standardized Agenda designed to Address Potential Area of Risk  Meeting minutes should be taken and shared Most common issues discussed:  Patient volumes/Payer mix  Revenue cycle process changes; ie new initiatives  Payer realization rates/Pricing Changes Finance can do “heavy lifting” in Pre-close Phase  Update all reserve assumptions: Hindsight & ZBA Analysis  Re-Cast: Run New Assumptions against Prior Period AR to Isolate/Understand Impact  Large Balance Account Review  Net Revenue Monitoring Throughout Month

31 The Unique Alternative to the Big Four ® © 2011 Crowe Horwath LLP 31 Audit | Tax | Advisory | Risk | Performance Fundamentals of net revenue reporting  Permanently store reserve estimates at the patient account level  Standardization of payors across multiple different entities  Calculates current month gross revenue by payor (should tie very closely to G/L)  Determines deductions on current month gross revenue, based on:  Transactions posted during the month on current month revenue  Reserves estimated on current month revenue  Separately determines changes in prior estimate based on:  Changes in reserves on open accounts  Differences in actual transaction experience versus prior reserves  Separately categorizes changes where primary insurance did/did not change

32 The Unique Alternative to the Big Four ® © 2011 Crowe Horwath LLP 32 Audit | Tax | Advisory | Risk | Performance Technology: Finance Continually Monitors Net Revenue  Biggest barrier to accelerated close is review and explanation of net revenue variances  Continuous monitoring can surface issues and causes for variance well before close process actually begins  Daily or (at least) weekly reporting can help to facilitate the quick analysis of fluctuations in net revenue during a period of time  Actively monitor and project net revenue to avoid surprises during close  Segregation of current period activity from prior period  Determine cause of fluctuations

33 Solving the mystery…

34 The Unique Alternative to the Big Four ® © 2011 Crowe Horwath LLP 34 Audit | Tax | Advisory | Risk | Performance Many of the material changes in prior estimates where there is a difference between estimate & actual can be explained by revenue cycle process issues  Issues with contract modeling system  Posting errors  Inconsistent write-off practices  Re-classing prior activity from bad debt to charity or administrative adjustments  Interim billed accounts  Charge removals or late charges Change in Reserve Estimates - Primary Insurance Unchanged

35 The Unique Alternative to the Big Four ® © 2011 Crowe Horwath LLP 35 Audit | Tax | Advisory | Risk | Performance Change in Reserve Estimates - Primary Insurance Changed  Accounts frequently flip payors during the month will change reserve estimates or actual activity (particularly if posting discounts at time of billing)  Most common example is Pending Medicaid  Reserves will be a blend of contractuals, charity, and bad debt  If account flips to Medicaid, reserves will be mostly contractual (hit to contractuals, pick up in bad debt and charity)  If account flips to Self Pay, reserves will be mostly charity and bad debt (hit to charity and bad debt, pick up to contractuals)  No current period gross revenue, yet net revenue is impacted
