Webinar 1: Cost Allocation: Getting the Basics Right

To assist health center finance and accounting staff in preparing for the transition to value-based payment and care, the Delta Center hosted a series of webinar trainings on Understanding Your Costs in an Evolving Payment Environment. These webinars were facilitated by Capital Link, a national, non-profit organization that specializes in helping health centers improve operations and financial management.

The first webinar provides a detailed review of the methodology for allocating costs in a fee-for-service accounting environment (direct, indirect, and overhead), and an introduction to how “costing” differs in a value-based system.
