"Not-for-profit and for-profit hospitals report similar levels of unreimbursed Medicaid costs even though not-for-profits receive billions of dollars a year in tax subsidies, new research shows."
"More than half (58 percent) of all nonfederal, acute-care hospitals in the United States are nongovernmental, nonprofit hospitals. These hospitals RECEIVE EXEMPTIONS TO FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES ($24.6 BILLION IN PUBLIC TAXPAYER SUBSIDY). In exchange for these exemptions, the hospitals are REQUIRED TO PROVIDE CHARITY CARE AND OTHER BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH THEY OPERATE."

"Yet more worrisome is that some hospitals have been engaging in practices that are antithetical to charity. The IRS definition of “charitable,” as it applies to 501(c)3 status, includes “relief of the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged.”72 Nevertheless, some nonprofit hospitals engage in aggressive debt collection, surprise billing, and patient dumping—practices that add to patients’ financial stress and can damage the credit history of those already suffering from poor health."

Well when u send billing to India and expect them to file claims timely when the turnover is nonstop then what ya expect! Lol silly people they get what they deserve
