What's it worth?
Abstract
Patients without effective coverage frequently must pay charges for medical services that are higher than the hospital's contracted rates. A national survey of hospitals shows great variation in how charges are set and accommodations made for patients with low income. The government is taking a more active role in examining charging practices. Hospitals can take several steps to help stave off government intervention.
