WCF Overview
A WCF will promote effective cost control and increased
efficiency for programs and service providers.
What is a
working capital
fund?
• A WCF is a revolving fund with no year authority, that allows an agency to bill
and collect fees for services and deposit them into the fund to finance the
fund’s operations
When did CDC
receive
authorization?
• In CDC’s FY 2012 appropriation, Congress authorized CDC to establish a WCF
in FY 2014
Why did CDC
pursue a
working capital
fund?
• To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of business support services
• To promote effective cost control within programs and service organizations
• To achieve greater transparency by establishing a standard process for
developing and reviewing rates and reporting on the actual costs of services
• To enable CDC to finance long-term capital investments, while avoiding
cyclical funding spikes
How will CDC’s
working capital
fund operate?
• In a WCF environment, programs will request services from service providers
and the WCF will bill programs for business services consumed based on preestablished rates.
Achieving greater efficiency, transparency, and accountability of business services.

Activities & Program Highlights
Responding to Data Needs
for Public Health Policies and Programs
Responding to Data Needs: Monitoring
Changes in Health and Health Care
•
Existing questions on NHIS and NAMCS/NHAMCS
provide baseline and trend data for items including:
• Health insurance
• Access to health care
• Care provided in physician offices, emergency and
outpatient departments and community health centers
•
New questions added to NHIS address targeted issues
(ex. financial burden of medical care)
• Added NAMCS/NHAMCS cardiovascular disease lookback module
•
Larger NHIS and NAMCS sample sizes allow more
state-level estimates
