Budget Introduction
In six weeks you will be creating a comprehensive “Organization Wide Operating Budget” for a real or hypothetical mental health related practice for your Budget Assignments in this class. Whether this is a non-profit or for-profit sole proprietorship, limited liability corporation (LLC), partnership, sub-s corporation, or other. We begin this process by identifying the following:
Name of Organization
Type of Organization (non-profit or for-profit, see above options)
Location of Organization (urban vs. rural)
Staff required
Program/organization objectives or mission statement (why are you in business)
Proposed clientele you will be working with (age, gender, diagnosis, how many/day, what payer sources...private pay, traditional health insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, managed care, grants related).
Facilities you will need to deliver services (square footage, equipment, etc.).
You may use worksheet A.1, page 140+ as a guide to complete the above information. Please note that not all categories on Worksheet A.1 are required for this assignment. The recommended length of this assignment is 2-3 pages with reference support.
