Play as the director of a community health clinic.
Treat patients, manage your budget, and balance mission and margin.
Dive into the complexity of healthcare finance.
Treat Patients
Every quarter, patients arrive with different insurance statuses. Insured is profitable, and uninsured is unprofitable (but maximum community impact). Same treatment, but one is more sustainable
Manage the Budget
Pay staff, handle events, make investments. Every dollar you spend is a dollar you can't spend elsewhere (opportunity cost).
Handle Surprises
Flu surges, equipment failures, Medicaid rate cuts, natural disasters, etc. Healthcare finance is unpredictable, so your cash reserve is your protection.
Balance the Score
The composite score is made up of 40% Financials + 40% Community Health + 20% Reputation. Only maximizing one aspect leads to failure. Balance is the goal.
Finance Concepts Built Into Every Decision
Payer Mix
The ratio of insured vs. Medicaid vs. uninsured patients, controlling revenue.
Operating Margin
Revenue minus total costs per quarter. Negative means cash is being burned through too quickly.
Opportunity Cost
Choosing one thing means giving up another. Every hire is equipment you can't buy.
Cash Runway
How many quarters until you run out of cash at your current burn rate.
Cross-Subsidy
Profits from insured patients help to fund care for uninsured ones, ensuring balance.
Revenue Diversification
Grants, insurance, and Medicaid are three income streams. Lose one and the others have to compensate.
