US hospitals add billions of dollars in 'facility fees' to routine medical bills with patients charged for using the OFFICE where they meet doctors - as the worst states are revealed
They have to somehow make up for being forced by Medicare/Medicaid and insurance companies to undercharge for treatments, not to mention all the illegals who pay nothing whatsoever. The alternative is closing their doors.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • US hospitals are charging unsuspecting outpatients hundreds of dollars in facility fees to offset the cost of running their central organizations

  • Patients across the country whose providers have been bought out by major hospital systems are being punished to the tune of hundreds of dollars per visit

  • In states like Ohio, four out of five medical bills sent to the state's largest insurer for heart examines now include a facility fee
