Please join us for RubinBrown's Rural Health Webinar Series: Cost Report Preparation Basics: Rural Provider Edition, led by Caren Puvalowski, Rural Healthcare Reimbursement Manager and Sarah Martinez, CHCRS, Healthcare Consultant at RubinBrown.

Preparing your cost report is more than just checking a regulatory box—it’s a key opportunity to optimize your reimbursement. Yet many rural providers unintentionally miss out on valuable dollars due to overlooked details, misunderstood requirements, and underreported data. In this session, we’ll walk through the essentials of cost report preparation, highlighting commonly missed items that could be costing you. You’ll learn practical tips for gathering complete and accurate data, strategies for strengthening internal processes for more accurate reporting and ways to ensure you’re getting the most out of your reporting year over year. Whether you're new to the process or simply want a refresher, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge to file with confidence and accuracy.

This session is ideal for finance leaders, reimbursement staff, and operational teams who are new to cost reporting or looking for a refresher to ensure nothing is overlooked. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your understanding of how the cost report impacts your organization’s financial performance.

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Identify commonly overlooked items in cost reports that can impact reimbursement for rural healthcare providers.
