Patients covered by Medicare and Medicaid
At this hospital, Medicare and Medicaid patients make up:
- 83% of all people admitted
- 74% of all outpatients provided care
70% of patient service revenue at this hospital comes from Medicare and Medicaid. This is a result of the large volume of services being reimbursed by Medicare and Medicaid, which do not cover the cost of care, driving significant underpayment from these public insurance programs.[4]
