Hospitals to take bigger burden for internal injuries - 08/20/07If you're on Medicare, your hospital is going to have to try harder to not make a mistake. New rules this month will stop Medicare from paying for mistakes made by hospitals; including objects left in patients during surgery, falls at the hospital, infections caused after heart surgery or catheters, or bed sores and pressure ulcers. The hospitals will now have to pick up the costs of in-house complications and they can not bill the patient. The move is being taken to reduce costs on taxpayers and improve hospital service quality. Medicaid | Posted 08/19/2007 - 9:58pm | 385 reads
