New Index Ranks Hospitals’ Community Benefit
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
On July 7, 2020, the Lown Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, announced the initial release of its new ranking system for hospitals.

Non-Profit
I know of PLENTY of hospitals, groups and smaller practices that use the not for profit loophole to take in lots of money. It is another scam in the system that hurts honest, upstanding companies like ours. This should never be allowed with the amount of money paid to executives of these organizations. Either make it right for all or none UNLESS one can prove they deserve it.
Of course, “bad debt” is measured by unrecovered charges, which may be more than the true cost of the service.
