Cost Reporting in 2020 Will Be Unlike Any Other Year

August 22, 2020

Rural health clinics will have a number of additional items to consider when we file our next cost report including:

  • productivity standard exemptions;
  • provider relief fund allocations;
  • paycheck protection program loans; and

Thankfully, we have two experts in this space who are graciously agreeing to share their knowledge with the RHC community! Speakers will be:

  • Jeff Bramschreiber, CPA, Healthcare Partner for Wipfli
