MHAFP 5006 Capella University Health Care Financial Basics Lecture Plan Discussion

Question Description
Prepare a lecture for an introductory health care finance class on types of revenue sources for health care organizations. For each revenue source, explain the purpose of the program, how the organization is reimbursed, and the benefits of the program.

Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

Assessment Instructions
PREPARATION
Look in the Capella University Library and on the Internet to find resources on Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care. Specifically, you need information on what each program is, , and how organizations receive reimbursements from each. You will need these resources to complete this assessment.

For the purpose of this assessment, suppose you work for a large health care organization that partners with the local college on a number of initiatives. As a part of that partnership, you have been asked to be a guest presenter for an introductory health care finance class. You need to explain sources of health care revenue and how the reimbursement process works. You need to prepare a 45-minute lecture on that topic.

There is no prescribed format for this assessment, but you must reference at least three resources and follow the APA guidelines. Just be sure that your assessment is organized logically and your information is presented clearly.

REQUIREMENTS
Write a 45-minute lecture plan for an introductory health care finance class. (You will not be evaluated on whether your lecture plan is actually 45 minutes in length.) The three types of revenue sources you will cover are the following:

Medicaid.
Medicare.
Managed Care.
For each of the revenue sources, you must do the following:

Explain the purpose of the program.
Analyze the process of reimbursement for health care organizations.
What steps must be taken in order to receive reimbursement for services?
How complicated is each step?
What kind of information is required from the organization?
How long does it take to receive reimbursement?
Explain the benefits of the program for both patients and health care organizations.
The length of this assessment will vary depending on the format you use. If your completed assessment is longer than eight pages, you may need to be more concise in your writing. If you have only two pages, you have probably not fully addressed all elements of the assessment.

Please include a title page and reference page, even though you would not include those in real life.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Include a title page and reference page.
Number of pages: Roughly 4–7.
At least three current scholarly or professional resources.
APA format for in-text citations and references only.
Times New Roman font, 12 point.
Double-spaced.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Cancer is a disease that is no respecter of persons. Every gender, race and financial status is affected by cancer, but certain groups are more affected than others. One example is African American women and breast cancer. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is arguably the worst type of breast cancer due to the aggressiveness of the disease and the limited options for successful treatment (American Cancer Society, 2022). African American (AA) women have a higher rate of diagnosis of TNBC and poorer prognosis with worse survival rates than European American women (EA), resulting in AA women having a 65% higher chance of dying from TNBC then EA women (Prakash, 2020). These statistics are both fascinating and saddening. What is the cause of this health disparity in African American women? As an advanced registered nurse, I plan to join the group of researchers and practitioners that are studying the biologic and non-biologic factors that may be contributing to this racial disparity (Prakash, 2020). As with all types of cancer, early detection is key to improving prognosis. The specialty of Public Health nursing is in a strong position to contribute to educating the population on the importance of mammography and self- examination.

Breast cancer is not the only cancer type that has a higher incidence and poorer prognosis in the African American population. Per the National Cancer Institute (2016), “Blacks/African Americans have higher death rates than all other racial/ethnic groups for many, although not all, cancer types.” There are many theories as to what the contributing factors of cancer disparities in this population are, including but not limited to, environmental, socioeconomic status, education levels, access to quality care and screening, and systemic racism.

LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
