Discuss your concerns, if any. Then discuss how you might address the issue. Three years ago, when Suburban Hospital found itself in financial trouble, it hired Allan Hale as a senior administrator on the basis of his experience in revitalizing a large health care corporation. In reviewing hospital billing practices, Hale immediately noticed that the coding of a given medical condition significantly affected reimbursement. He instituted new policy such that, whenever there was an ambiguity in a patient's diagnosis, clerks would enter the most remunerative code possible. Hale has also found the billing department too cautious in its reimbursement claims for expenses such as interest charges for the facilities under Medicaid and Medicare programs. He has directed that whenever there is any doubt, staff should claim the maximum amount. As a realist, however, he has instructed accounting personnel to develop two…arrow_forward

- Drug companies in the United States are granted a patent on any new pharmaceutical drug they develop, which gives them a monopoly on that drug for 20 years. Not surprisingly, high monopoly profits (i.e., profits well beyond the average rate of profits in other industries) are characteristics of the pharmaceutical industry. In a 2003 study entitled The Other Drug War II, Public Citizen’s Congress Watch noted that during the 1970s and 1980s, drug companies in the Fortune 500 had average profits rates (i.e., as a percent of revenues) that were double the average for all other industries in the Fortune 500. During the 1990s drug company profits rates averaged 4 times the average profits rates of all other industries, and during the first 5 years of the twenty-first century, drug company profit rates were about 3 times the rates of other industries. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Financial Reports, in the first quarter of 2007 and 2008, average drug company profit rates…arrow_forwardPLS HELP ASAParrow_forwardI need help with answering the following questions below after reading Reading: Maryland Health Care Provider Sentenced to 10 years in Federal Prison for Health Care Fraud Resulting in Patient Deaths from the United States Attorny's Office.
