"This Is Gonna Cost You"

A timely title in the March 3 issue of the HealthLeaders Financial E-newsletter. Everywhere you read about the business of healthcare, the lament is the same. The liquidity crunch hitting the financial markets is driving up interest costs on debt for hospitals across the country. especially those using auction-rate debt. Furthermore, as one CFO is quoted in the article, "...it is taking over all the time of the accountants, investment bankers and CFO's."

Perhaps moreso now than at any other time previously, today's healthcare financial executives need to find additional resources to meet their financial needs - without going into more debt. A solution: accelerate your cash flow and generate more working capital from your operations. However, reimbursement delays compound the problem so that your cash flow is often an obstacle to profitability rather than a source of working capital.

There is a funding tool that does provide a cash flow solution to your working capital needs. Add Sun Capital HealthCare Inc.'s Medical Accounts Receivable [MAR]Funding program to your fiscal strategies and your cash flow becomes a solution rather than a problem.
