Accounting of financial information in health care is critical, just as it is in any business. Provide the following information for Parts A, B, and C below.

Part A Describe and differentiate the various financial forms utilized for managing financial assets in the health care setting.

Part B Use the following information to prepare an income statement for March, 2015.

Maria Hernandez, Family Nurse Practitioner, has recently opened a new Family Medicine Practice. Total billed revenues for March were $18,000. Currently, all of his patients are insured by commercial insurers or Medicare. Third-party payers typically pay two months after care is delivered, so her actually receipts in March are zero. NP Hernandez pays her nursing staff $1700 twice a month. The rest of her expenses such as rent, utilities, supplies, insurance, and bookkeeping are paid monthly and total $6500.

Prepare an income statement for March on a cash basis and on an accrual basis.
