NCHA Financial Services staff help members navigate the ongoing changes in healthcare finance while protecting funding and reimbursement. As demands increase to control expenditures in an environment of new regulations and evolving reimbursement methods, members can rely on NCHA’s financial services for information and guidance to stay viable.
