Reviews


Basic, yes but...
The book does explain the basics well but they assume you may have had another type of finance class when it come to crunching numbers. This book was required for an online class I took and even the teacher was not impressed with this book. There needs to be more explanation and break down on how to perform calculations.

Ok basic, but not too helpful
This book gives a good basic overview of the health care finance. Its best feature is that it is applied to health care only, so you don't have to go through other business models. I cannot see using it in the future though - if you are planning to manage your office/work on a budget/evaluate your organization from a financial stand point, this is not the book you will need.
