My future position in the healthcare industry is to be a Healthcare Administrator. In my

current or past positions, I did not work with finances, so this is new to me, though definitely

will be dealing with it as an Administrator. There are several ways that I would utilize financial

information. It will be utilized when dealing with insurance and reimbursements, will I qualify

for meaningful use, paying staff, allocating finances for quality improvement, improving

technology equipment as well as other equipment and marketing are just some of the ways I will utilize financial information.

As a patient, I have had the experience of having to pay for healthcare costs out of

pocket. I have also reviewed the bill to ensure correctness of charges, called facility for questions regarding billing, and also have reviewed the EOB (explanation of Benefits) this also will ensure correctness and assure me of all charges.
