  • Title: Charity care: are hospitals giving their fair share?
    Author: Burda D.
    Journal: Mod Healthc; 1992 Jun 15; 22(24):cover, 22-5, 28-9. PubMed ID: 10118604.
    Abstract:
    How much are hospitals spending on charity care? Overall, they spend far less of their money--about 1% to 2% of annual revenues--on true charity-care cases than the industry would like everyone to believe. The debate over charity care has been muddied by inconsistent definitions of charity care, conflicting requirements from government agencies and misleading data from hospitals.
