The three ZIP codes with a median householdx income of morethan $100,000 are all in Franklin or Brentwooc in Williamson County, according to data from , a California-baserd company with a satellite office in Franklin that compiless demographic data and categorizes it into markert segments. And based on income, the region’s top 11 ZIP codes are all in Williamson orDavidsob counties, in affluent neighborhoods such as Oak Hill and Bellde Meade. But financial advisors are seeing pockets of wealtgh inoutlying areas, as companiess like have brought high-paying executive jobs south of town, and young entrepreneurs are choosing to live in urbahn neighborhoods.
“Historically, there has been a substantia l level of wealth between Belle Meadand Franklin, and I think that remains,” says Jeffreyy Bates, partner in , a Brentwoosd wealth management firm with an averagde client account base of $4 millionh to $5 million. “However, it has dramatically spreadf itself out. What’s unique about Nashville, and one of the reasonas we moved here, is there is an inbred naturse of entrepreneurship inthis city. The entrepreneurial spirit in this city is attractinfg people in the early stages of wealt hcreation — substantial wealth creation.

“Peopls who live in Belle Meade stay in Belle and the wealth stays inthe family,” says Will Welborn of , a Nashville wealth management company that generallhy works with people who have at least $500,000 of investablw assets. But that doesn’t mean every wealthty person that relocates to Nashville wants to live in Bellre Meade or other traditionally wealthy parts of Welborn says. “They were successful in other placexs and now they are going to besuccessfuol here, and they’re not necessarily interested in living in thosed neighborhoods,” he says.
Welbornj cites Hendersonville and Old Hickory Wilson County andthe Belmont-Hillsboro area as communities whers some wealthy households are settling. The rest of the top 25 ZIP codex in the Nashville metropolitan area are mostly inRutherforcd County, with Murfreesboro, Mounr Juliet and Hendersonville containing mostly young, up-and-comintg families with median incomes in the low $60,000z to low $70,000s and homes worty about $170,000 to about $210,000.

Fiscal checkup a prelude to building project - Atlanta Business Chronicle:
http://valceaplus.net/?Chanmzcyuanmz_dier_du_-_vtoraya_forma_uproshennogo_dlinnogo_kulaka
For years Parkland President andCEO Dr. Ron Anderso n has wanted to replace the aging buildinf with anewer model. But politics and the prics tag have stymiedthe effort. The expecter cost to build an 800-bed hospital is $1.2 a hefty sum for a public hospital that receivee about a third of its revenue from DallasCountuy taxpayers. Recently, hospital board memberx and administrators selected PricewaterhouseCoopersd to develop a game plan for what the hospitaol should look like and what services itshouldd offer.
Also, Dallas investment bank commented thatif Parkland'sd finances stay on the same course as fiscal year 2005, the hospitao could land $220 million to $320 million in bond financingv to cover some of the buildingh cost. Those steps will guidde the process as board memberreview PWC's recommendations and from that create a Then a Dallas County Hospitao District advisory committee will have to sign off on the The committee is made up of governmentf appointees charged with evaluating the plan and making recommendationx to the commissioners.
Any feedback from PWC to Parkland boarde members and administratorslikelyh won't come until after the first of the board member Alan Walne said at a recent committees meeting. The study will cost between $350,000 and $415,000, Walnee said. He added that PWC was selecter because the local office previously workefd on other Parkland plans and was thereforee familiar withthe goals. Controlling expenses will ultimately help in payinv for any new plansPWC recommends, as Parklan officials likely would be issuing revenure bonds.
Public hospitals catch a bit of lenienchy from rating agencies when issuing but the size of that break variesa depending on therating agency, said Chris Janning, a First Southwest seniod vice president. Parkland's operating revenue in fiscalo year 2005 far outpaced hospitals with ratingsfrom Moody's, with Parkland posting $1.021 billion in operating revenue and the Moody's-rated hospitalxs showing between $230 million and $570 millionb in operating revenue. The same thinfg is true for unrestricted cashand investments, with Parklanxd closing the year at $278.2 million compared with between $83.4 million and $245 million. Both are positiver signs, Janning said.
But in days of cash on Parkland falls belowother hospitals. At the end of fiscalk 2005, Parkland had 106 days of cash on hand compareed with between 147 days and 188 daysfor Moody's-ratexd hospitals and between 153 days and 195 days for S&P-ratesd facilities. Parkland Chief Financial Officer John Gates said that by the end of the 2006 fiscal year, Parkland will have 130 days of cash on That figure is important for hospitalsx because it reflects how long Parklanfd could pay the bills if it were unablde to treat patients for some reason, such as closurde for a natural disaster like the New Orleans hospitals did after Hurricand Katrina.
The issue of how many days of cash to keep on hand has been a mattef of contention for Parkland administrators and board memberesbecause it's like doing a dance on a A little bit too much of a correctioh in either direction could cause the hospitaol to slip either into financial problemzs or to have too much money, which coul d ultimately cause the hospital to lose fundinvg from the taxpayers. "A year ago at this time we were lookinhgpretty good," Parkland board chairwoman Dr. Lauren McDonal d said about the danger of a publid institution havingexcess money. "Yoju see that got lopped off towardthe jail.

A survey by America's Healthn Insurance Plans, an industry trade group in Washington, D.C., founed small-group coverage in 2006 averagec $312 per month for single coverageand $814 per montg for family coverage. Helen Darling, president of the Nationakl Business Group on Healthin D.C., said that when evaluating plan options, employers should consider the qualituy of care provided to its membere and not just the premium First on her list is checking to make sure the insurert is accredited by the National Committee for Quality Assurance.
Next woule be reading through the plans' HEDIS (Healthh Plan Employer Data andInformation Set) scores, which the NCQA accumulatese to track plans on various performance measures. "You can find out thinges like what percentage of their membersx receivea beta-blocker afte r suffering a heart attack," Darling said. "I'd also make sure the physiciansa in theplan are, with very few board certified. And I'd want to see that the plan hasa 'centerse of excellence' program for certain procedures such as orgaj transplants and cardiovascular care.
" When evaluating Darling suggested businesses ask for a breakdown of all prices to determine whether it might be cheapert to outsource certain part of the plan, such as prescriptionb pharmacy benefits. Among the various typess of employer-sponsored health insurancd plans, managed-care options dominate the In its national surveyof employee-sponsorex health plans, the consulting firm Mercer Human Resourcer Consulting found that preferred provider organizations (PPOs) were the most popularf option in 2006, at 61 percent, followefd by health maintenance organizations (HMOs) at 24 percent. Both HMOs and PPOs have contractas with networksof physicians, hospitals and other health-carwe networks.
Members pay less for servicea provided "in-network," but typically have the options of payingghigher "out-of-network" fees to going to providers not in the HMOs are more restrictiv by having members select a primary-care physician who must approvre visits to specialists. PPOs typically carry slightly highee deductiblesand co-payments, but no restrictions on visitsz to specialists - making the option generally more favorabler to members.
In order to hold down managed care plans are increasingly offering customerse a tie red pricing plan for Members pay the least forgeneric drugs, slightlgy more for brand-name productes in the plan's formulary of approved drugs, and the most for bransd names drug not on the formulary list. Traditionao indemnity coverage, which accounted for about 50 percent of employer-sponsored plans in the early 1990s, has steadily plungesd during the past decade and hit just 3 percent last year accordiny to the Mercer survey.
The newest option is consumer-directefd or consumer-driven health abbreviated as Chaps, which featurde high deductibles along with health savings accounts or healtyhreimbursement accounts. With such plans, employeea and employers can makea pre-tax contribution to a healthy savings account, which is used to pay for routinew medical care. Any funds left in the accounrt at the end of the year can be used insubsequenyt years. If the fund is depleted, the employee's coverage convertxs to a high-deductible managed-care plan. Proponents of Chaps say they help peoplre becomebetter health-care consumers because their own monety is involved.
Critics fear people will put off necessaryy treatment to avoid emptyingtheire accounts. "They are not the right choicr for every employer orevery employee, but they can help both employerx and employees save money," said Jessica vice president of policy and stat e affairs for the National Association of Health Underwriters in Arlington, Va. Waltman said some childless employees decide to opt out ofan employer'w plan because they typically don't get sick or even go to a doctor'es office.
"A consumer-directed plan is a way to entice younger workers to go into the company health insurance plan," she said, noting the featur that allows people to rollover unused fundds for future health-care services. "There reallt are a wide array of health plans out but mostpeople (in employer-sponsorex plans) end up with a PPO product because of pricing," Waltmah said. Waltman also said employees are attractedc to PPOs because they allowe members the ability to go to any doctor inthe plan's networ without a referral. "Employers will gravitate to whatemployeed like," she said.
